Getting Your Certificate
I started thinking on the other side about what students need to do to stay motivated. As is always discussed by CFI's is the standards student, the one who is extremely motivated at the beginning and looses motivation as the training goes on, often times quitting before even obtaining their Private Pilot Certificate.
What can a student do to stay motivated and achieve their certificate? In the following posts I will discuss this and provide some helpful ideas.
Part 1 - Know what you want
Part 2 - Plan ahead
Part 3 - Finding the right school
Part 4 - Stay involved
Part 5 - Understand the curve
Part 6 - The light
Part 7 - continue to learn

I've Caved
I am embracing technology and have decided to start a twitter feed for RightSeatPilot. The blog and Twitter will be my way of letting everyone know what it’s like to be a flight instructor. I’m not going to abandon the blog, it will still be my primary source for posting stories and ideas.

However, I thought it would be fun to let people see what I’m doing during my day(and nights) as a flight instructor. Follow the twitter account as I will be posting what I’m doing throughout the day, flight or briefings, which course, any thoughts before or after lessons.

This is just a more active way for me to stay involved. Hope to see you follow me soon!
