Designed
to save you time and money, our Introductory Pilot Career Counseling covers
the what, where, when and how of learning to fly, completing your training
and acquiring the experience necessary to succeed as a professional pilot.
Our service is much like talking to your own accountant or attorney before
you undertake an expensive course of action that may have far-reaching
implication. We have your interests in mind and will recommend alternatives
to help you achieve your goal quickly, with the minimum investment necessary.
Our
Basic (0-400 Hours total flight
time), Advanced (over 400 Hours),
or Age 60+ Counseling begins by
asking you to complete a detailed questionnaire describing your personal,
professional, educational and financial background. Of special importance
is the question asking you to "tell us about yourself."
We want to know how you got interested in flying, what you'd like to do
with it, (and NOT do with it, as that's important, too!) as well as any
questions or concerns you have about the training and time-building
process.
Once we
receive your paperwork we'll call you to set up a counseling session,
either via your phone call to us at a pre-arranged time (evenings and
weekend appointments are available) or in-person at our offices in Santa
Barbara, California, with airport pickup available upon request.
 Your
counseling session will last approximately 75 minutes and include detailed
advice on achieving your goals with special attention to your specific
needs and questions. Within the next 6 months after your initial
session, you're entitled to two additional follow-up sessions (limit:
10 minutes each) to help you with any additional questions or concerns.
The fee for our service is $135.00 payable by check, $US money order,
or VISA/MasterCard. (Should you desire in-person counseling, add $50.)
We recommend
you read "Flight Guide
for Success: Tips and Tactics for the Aspiring Airline Pilot"
before your counseling session. You may find all the answers to your
questions and can save yourself the cost of the counseling session.
If not, you'll gain a strong foundation in the basics of our industry
and we can then concentrate on your personal situation during your counseling
session. This eliminates the need take up valuable counseling time
to familiarize you with the "how it goes in the flying world"
information which you can read in the book.
If you’re
thinking about a career change, we recommend you read Karen’s article
entitled "New
Directions Changing Careers at Midlife"
which appeared in the July issue of AOPA Flight Training magazine.
