Conclusion
Every student graduating from aviation school should know how airplanes fly. It’s a really basic point of curiosity in the world, and people who come to any aviation school, who are very passionate and want to change the world, should know how airplanes work, some information about aviation, and this incredible feat of humankind, the fact that we’re able to fly through the air. It is really important for all students to have the opportunity to learn about airplanes and learn how to become pilots themselves.

One thing I try to stress in the class is that you don’t have to commit to getting a CAAP pilot’s license which will qualify you to be the only pilot in the aircraft. You can go down to a flight school, you can get your hands on the controls, and within five or ten hours you can learn to take off, fly around, and land without the instructor having to touch anything or say anything. And that’s doable for both airplanes and helicopters. So yes, our major goal is just motivating people to get up in the air and enjoy this exciting freedom of flying.
