I hope you don't mind me posting this here but it is related directly to Sport Aircraft and Sport Flying! It is about learning to fly LSA, getting a Sport Pilot cert and buying an LSA.
Here is the press release for my new self-published book.
------------------------
Unique New Aviation Book Published –Paperback & Electronic
According to figures discussed at the 2010 Future of Flight Training session at AirVenture, 70% of students that sign up for flight training quit before becoming certified.
It is hard today to get people interested in flying with the negative and sensationalized media the general press gives aviation. The diminishing new pilot candidates that do make the effort are faced with a pilot training system in the United States that will discourage 70% of these precious and hard won candidates.
The new book from CFI/CTT Timothy O'Connor aims to not only bring more candidates into aviation but more importantly to give these students the knowledge and tools they need to beat the odds and successfully become a certified pilot. Entering a student pilot program can seem daunting, and without a good guide many people never get past an introductory ride. You Can Afford To Be A Pilot gives students the knowledge and power to break down the most common barriers to completing a pilot certificate including expense, poor instructors, lack of procedural support and more.
Although targeted principally at people interested in recreational aviation in the United States, this handbook on how to navigate successfully the student pilot gauntlet is highly applicable to recreational flying everywhere. It is even applicable to students wishing to work in the airline business.
Unlike any other book or publication, You Can Afford to be a Pilot takes the reader on a complete tour of the pilot training and certification process from the perspectives of the instructor, examiner and student from the point of initial interest through becoming a fully certified pilot.
This new book also aims to open the door to flight for those who thought they could not afford to fly. The fact is flying can be done by people of middle-class means and this book is a convincing guide to make the dream of flight attainable.
You Can Afford to be a Pilot is a self published book promoted solely by those who care about the future of aviation. Paperback editions are available through Amazon.com and directly from the author. E-Book editions for the iPad, iPhone, Kindle and other platforms are available through SmashWords, Apple iBooks and other outlets listed on the book's web page: www.YouCanAffordToBeAPilot.com.
