If you only fly once a week or once every two weeks, you will be spending the beginning of each new lesson redoing everything that you learned in the previous lesson.

Part 1 will focus on the basics to flight training.

Flying is no doubt an expensive hobby, however having a business use for the plane may help to keep costs under control. When I was growing up, I dreamed of one day flying my family to "parts unknown" for vacations. I never imagined that I would be using the plane for business too.

Not to spend too much time on how to get your pilot's license, but I do want to mention some factors involved with flight training and aircraft ownership. My intentions are to write in layman's terms so that not aviation people will understand what is involved with both flight training and aircraft ownership.

1. Flight Training: Time commitment is about 5-9 months or longer, depending on how often you can maintain a training schedule. When I trained, I was flying a couple of times a week, before work. I would fly from 7:00am to 9:00am and I could be in the office by 10:00am, the latest.
2. Financing Flight Training: It's going to cost around $6000-$8000 to get your Private Pilot Certificate. Again it depends on how often you fly. The more often you fly, the better chances of not needing as much time. If you only fly once a week or once every two weeks, you will be spending the beginning of each new lesson redoing everything that you learned in the previous lesson. Some fligh

      Designing Office Space – For Comfort
      In recent articles that I have written I spent a large amount of time discussing how to search for the perfect office chair. However, in this article I will be looking at how to decide on how your office workspace should be laid out so that this will help to promote a more ergonomic and comfortable position for you to work in.

         Restaurant point of sale systems have loads of features that POS salespeople love to talk about. Some are glamorous, others are flashy and some are unique to their product.

         Is A Fitness Franchise The Best Business Opportunity For You?
         If recent media coverage were any indication, it would appear that virtually nobody in the United States has had any success at losing weight. Crash diets, weight loss pills and get-thin-quick gimmicks are more prevalent than ever, yet two-thirds of our population is still overweight. Even more startling is the fact that approximately one-third of

Some flight schools will offer financing for lessons.
      4. Medicals: Other considerations are also getting a medical certificate. There are 3 classes of medicals. A 3rd class medical is what most Private Pilots have and of course the easiest to "pass". The FAA's site www.faa.org can assist with the requirements involved.
      5. Flight Schools: Your local airport is the first place to start. Even your local colleges might have an aviation program. Though those programs are designed for students who are looking for careers in aviation. The larger airports (I'm not recommending going to JFK or LAX, I mean your local airport that has commercial flights coming in) will have two or three schools on the field, so check them all out before signing up.
      One final, yet important consideration is your feelings on flying. It does help to have feelings for flying, like someone who owns a boat has feelings for boating. If you aren't much for traveling and small planes don't excite you, well then I would recommend not doing this.

      In Part 2, I will discuss what is involved with purchasing an aircraft and what is involved with the ownership of a plane.
