Default RE: Trainers - How easy are they?



I think that the biggest reason for advertising a trainer as "No Experience Necessary" is because typically a beginning pilot who has no experience should begin with a trainer.  Is it wrong to advertise this way?  I guess it depends on how you look at it.  They don't say that you can just pick the trainer up at your LHS and take off to the field and fly without hooking up with an instructor.  They just say you don't need the experience to fly it.</p>

Like most advertising, they leave lots out between the lines.  You just get to interpret it and figure that based on the advertisement, you're good to go.  Right or wrong, that's the game we play.</p>

If you're looking to start flying, and haven't in the past, be both smarter and safer than the advertiser and find an instructor to help you.  You won't go wrong that way.</p>
