How I earned my private pilot licence in 28 days

Privately, with no previous aviation experience or connections

Preparation

I studied the Transport Canada Flight Training Manual, repeatedly. It gives you everything you need to know for each lesson.

Notes

Write down everything you can remember from the day's flights, briefings, and observations, from the moment you arrive at the airport until you leave.

You will find all kinds of helpful information when you are done, some will be important items you forgot.

Fly twice a day - Once in the morning - Once in the afternoon

This will be a hard pace but if you are prepared (step 1) then it's doable. Two flights will allow you to remember the lessons of the first and jump right into the next

Take a few hours between flights to refuel yourself and analyze the AM session

Review

Debrief yourself at the end of each day - what went wrong, what went right.

analysis will dramatically improve your progress

Study

Beyond Step 1, study the Flight Test Guide - Private Pilot Licence and the PSTAR written exam throughout your training.

When the time comes, these will be a cakewalk

Feedback

Beyond your instructor's briefings ask for feedback

Determine your weak areas early to be able to make adjustments ASAP

Relax

Stress and anxiety will kill your flow in no time

This process should be as fun as it is challenging, enjoy the journey
