Key Takeaways:

Redbird Flight Simulations yesterday released the results of its first industry-wide survey conducted with the support of its partners to better understand how the flight training industry is surviving in the age of COVID-19. The 78-page document—The State of Flight Training—represents the first comprehensive survey of people from all facets of the industry, including full-time and independent flight instructors, 315 flight school operators, random pilots, and vendors. The age range of respondents skewed older with 75 percent saying they were more than 45 years of age. Redbird says overall 2,414 individuals responded to their call for information, which evolved into a solid demographic guide for anyone working in the flight training industry.
