Learning to fly On-Line

"The Internet is a series of tubes..." AK Sen. Ted Stevens

My first step is to research learning to fly on the Internet. There is a wealth of information available for the prospective, in training, current and professional pilot on-line. Here is a small list I've narrowed down.

http://www.aopa.org/learntofly/index.html AOPA is Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, it is an excellent organization which I plan to join as soon as I get going with my training. From what my current pilot friends tell me, they are the best in what they offer to General Aviation.

http://www.cessna.com/learn-to-fly.html It makes sense that the best selling private aircraft manufacturer would have a good learn to fly website.

http://www.learntoflykit.com/ It also make sense that aviation magazines will have learn to fly websites. This one is from Plane & Pilot magazine.

http://www.pilotjourney.com/learntoflykit/ This one is just a pure website devoted to learning to fly.

All of these sites encourage you to sign-up for all of their stuff. Over the next few weeks I'll do just that and report back what's good and what's junk.

I've got my PayPal button and account set-up to receive donations now. Please feel free to be the first to donate. As soon as there is enough in the account I will set-up the first of my introductory flights with a local flight school. Thank you for helping out.

Matt,

FYI, outofbounds676@yahoo.com is my account on record with PayPal.
