I wanted to make this video to encourage you through any Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt ("FUD") in regards to becoming a pilot and owning your own plane one day. I think there are a lot of little reasons so many of us put of becoming a pilot, getting that next rating, or buying an airplane. There are lots of good reasons. But if we're not careful I think that can lead to a lifetime of ultimately not pursuing flying. I hear from so many people in the comments and emails that 3 months turned into 30 years and they regret not flying sooner, so I wanted to put this video together to try to encourage you that wherever you're at, the best day to start is TODAY.
I hope it encourages you in your flying journey!
If we are meeting for the first time, I'm Charlie Gasmire, a commercially licensed pilot and airplane owner, and I make helpful content for private pilots. I own a 1975 Cessna 182 in Dallas, Texas, and make content sharing my lessons learned along the way so that it might help others.
