Here's what fellow pilots are saying..
"I have been studying the workshops on this website and I have to say they have been excellent. It is so easy to learn with this method, on the internet. I have picked up so much useful information that never was taught to me during my private training or my Instrument training."
- Greg Ellis

"Looking through
everything you offer at the PilotWorkshops web site, I am convinced
we would have a dramatic decrease in incidents and accidents if
mandatory membership was required to retain your pilot certificate."
- Doug Brown

"This is a really
great program, just what every pilot has waited for. I hope I can
put into practice all of the knowledge presented.
The workshops are like having you own personal tutor. I will be going
back to review it many times in the future."
- Francis R Chmiel

"I am just getting back into flying after a long while out of it. The best things I find are the practical advice and the reassurance of listening to professional and knowledgeable instructors focusing on the very important issues. This leads me to be a lot more circumspect about my attitude and approach to flying than I think I would be 'naturally'."
- Andrew Shearer

"I have found your tactics to be a helpful refresher for me. I
am an ATP rated pilot who has been out of the game for a number of
years and the course is helping me get back in the game."
- Wayne Berg

have these workshop. Very nicely organized and informative."
- Dr. Gary Myers

"I am a new low time pilot and I believe that this style of
learning once only available by hanging out at the airport
talking to the 'old guys' has now been extended across our
country...I really have enjoyed this website/community
so far."
- Donald Smith

"Always enjoy the workshop topics. Every pilot will glean useful
info - new or just review - that might just make a difference
someday."
