New CPL Pilots and GA Ready Courses
Two things appear to be being missed in relation to discussion on GA Ready courses,
Shiny shoes and a clean pressed shirt take self discipline to come up sparkling. Self discipline is the stuff that makes good pilots. Over the years I have seen more than one pilot who did not have that and is no longer around.
The second is that the punters who are paying out hundreds of dollars to see the Red Rock or go from A to B look to the pilot as someone they want to have respect for after all their lives are in his hands. His appearance and attitude
are the things that give them confidence as to the outcome of the flight.
For all you critics of GA Courses think back and try to remember if you had confidence in your pilot who looked like something out of a dumpmaster and treated you as walk-in freight.
If you have not seen that then I suggest you have not been around for long.
