Summary
In this episode of Pilots Say What, we talk with Adrian, a student pilot at Thrust Flight who recently completed his Private Pilot License (PPL) and is now starting instrument training. Adrian’s aviation journey started on the maintenance side. After working as an A&P aircraft mechanic, he decided to pursue flying and eventually made the leap into full-time flight training. In this conversation, he shares what pushed him to start training and what the private pilot experience is really like from a student perspective.
