Is flight training difficult?
As with any other skill you master, flying is learned step by step by step. It’s a fascinating experience. But it’s not particularly difficult. It can be learned by practically anyone who is willing to invest some time and effort. Pilot training has two aspects: ground training and flight training. Ground training covers flight rules and regulations, flight planning, navigation, radio procedures, and weather. During the flight training, you learn how to fly by actually controlling the airplane yourself. Under the supervision of a certified flight instructor, you learn how to take off, land, and fly cross country from your home airport and then back again. The more you prepare yourself by reading and completing your computerized ground lessons prior to your flight lesson, the more you will be able to absorb during your flight lesson. Millions of people have learned to fly.
