FEATURED SITE: MyFlightCoach.com
Chris Findley, the creator and operator of MyFlightCoach is a CFI/CFII who is truly passionate about flying. He took his first flight when he was 10 years old. From that first moment he was hooked. By the time he was 14, he was involved in the Civil Air Patrol and bumming rides from whomever he could. At 16, he made his first solo flight and finished his Private Pilot training in the blustery winds of west Texas. myFlightCoach.com is designed to serve pilots, particularly student or returning pilots, with intensive, learn-where-you-are ground instruction, podcasts and writing. Using webinar-based instruction, Chris helps more pilots in more places lay a great foundation for their flying or help them solidify their understanding of flight concepts. Chris still loves to do Flight Instruction. He especially enjoys seeing the immense satisfaction and unmistakable sense of accomplishment that students feel after their first unassisted landing, or that goofy and relieved smile of the pilot who has just passed their flight test and received their new license.
CFIJason Aviation Challenge:
Jason provides both the question and the prize for this month's CFI~~Stew~~Jason aviation challenge. The Question: What is that one thing that must be in your flight bag before you go flying?
