Getting your private pilot license? Then you've probably discovered there's a daunting amount of information to learn on top of your actual flying skills. Use this podcast as a supplemental study guide to your ground school. Sometimes it helps to have someone explain it to you rather than try and memorize it all reading from a screen. Or sometimes you want to get a little studying in while you're out grocery shopping or driving to work. Either way, hopefully this helps. And hey, who knows? Maybe we'll actually have a little fun along the way.
