About this listen
Should student pilots pay extra for glass cockpit trainers, or stick with steam gauges to save money? What about learning Class Bravo procedures early? ✈️
In this episode of the Aviation Mentors Podcast, Brandon and Carson answer critical listener questions that every student pilot and low-time pilot faces during their first 250 hours. The hosts tackle real-world training decisions and share lessons learned about:
- Whether modern glass cockpit trainers are worth the premium cost vs. traditional six-pack aircraft
- What pilots wish they'd done differently in their first 250 hours—from saving money to logging PIC time strategically
- Are used avionics upgrades worth it in 2026, or should you wait for new technology?
- When student pilots should start practicing IFR-style flying (hint: earlier than you think)
- Class Bravo procedures—should students learn them now or wait until later in training?
🚀 Whether you're deciding between flight schools, managing training costs, or planning your path from student to private pilot, this Q&A episode delivers practical guidance based on real experience.
