Let's Go Flying

The LET’S GO FLYING book prepares the younger aviation enthusiast, who had a fascination for flight, for the reality of what it takes to become an aviation professional.

The LET’S GO FLYING book stresses six major issues:

• The aerospace industry has a zero tolerance for drug and alcohol abuse.
• Pilots, flight crews and support personnel who are impaired by drugs or alcohol endanger the safety of everyone on the ground or in the air.
• The pilot’s certificate is directly linked to the medical certificate.
• Starting from the day a young adult gets a driver’s license, a record of any alcohol or drug-related conviction can be used against a potential professional flight crew member by the Federal Aviation Administration.
• A pilot is expected to be in excellent physical condition when flying and when undergoing regular medical examinations.
• Flying is one of the most remarkable achievements of mankind. It is a privilege to fly.
