Are you a low-time pilot trying to build up your flight time?

Try these tips and get those hours in your logbook!
It’s the age-old question – how to get experience when no one is willing to give you a chance in order to build your experience.

When I was struggling to put hours in my logbook, I had to really get creative since I already had a full time, non-flying job.

The trick was to be willing to do a little bit of leg work – getting out there and putting myself in front of opportunities.

Be prepared to see the cheesy setting of my hotel room as I talk about how I, and other pilots I know, got those first 1000 or so hours under our belts.

When I decided I wanted to fly for a living, I had no idea what I needed to do.  I knew there was a flight school out there called Embry-Riddle that supposedly trained pilots.  So, after applying and getting accepted, I traveled down to Daytona Beach to get my wings.

I figured, a few more years of college and I would have my flying job.  Little did I know…that is simply not the way it works.  There’s a lot more you need before landing that dream job of airline pilot, corporate pilot, or some other pilot job flying those beautiful twin jets.
