Key Takeaways:

  • The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) launched the "Flight Training Experience Project" in response to challenges faced by the aviation community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • This project aims to celebrate and highlight inspiring stories of resilience, community support, and adaptation within the flight training sector.
  • Pilots, instructors, and schools are invited to submit short video stories (under 45 seconds) on social media using the hashtag #FTEProject by July 31.
  • Submissions should showcase how participants have inspired others, demonstrated resilience, or supported the broader community, with select stories featured at the Redbird Migration event and AOPA's media channels.

Have you kept up your flying during the past few months, staying focused on achieving that first pilot certificate or a new rating? A lot of pilots have turned challenges into success—but some have struggled as well, and the support they’ve had from peers and mentors can make the difference in getting back on track after a layoff, setback, or illness. During the first half of 2020, we can legitimately say it: We have all been there.
