Bridging the gap between 1-on-1 personal instruction & online ground school
1-on1 Instruction:
Pros: An expert at your fingertips to instantly answer your questions & show you how to understand a concept.
Cons: It costs at least $50 per hour.
Online Ground School:
Pros: The affordable price and the ability to learn where ever and when ever you want.
Cons: Trouble getting your questions answered.
Over the years student pilots had to choose between one or the other.
Getting an online ground school but having to search through books and online for answers to their questions.
Getting 1-on-1 instruction but having to drive to the airport only to stay in the hangar and spend $1000s on ground study.
But now, Part Time Pilot is giving student pilots the best of both worlds.
