New book says ‘You Can Afford To Be A Pilot’

By Janice Wood · December 16, 2010 ·

Just published is “You Can Afford To Be A Pilot,” a new book from CFI/CTT Timothy O’Connor.

The book aims to give students the knowledge and power to break down the most common barriers to completing a pilot certificate, including expense, poor instructors, lack of procedural support, and more.

“You Can Afford to be a Pilot” takes the reader on a complete tour of the pilot training and certification process from the perspectives of the instructor, examiner and student from the point of initial interest through becoming a fully certified pilot.

Paperback editions are available through Amazon.com and directly from the author. E-Book editions for the iPad, iPhone, Kindle and other platforms are available through SmashWords, Apple iBooks and other outlets listed on the book’s web page: YouCanAffordToBeAPilot.com
