Welcome to Plane Speech ✈️
I started flight training in my 40s, with a professional career outside of aviation, real responsibilities, and many misconceptions of what I thought a pilot was supposed to be.
After completing flight training, I realized there’s a huge gap between people who are in aviation and people who are curious about it.
Plane Speech is about:
- Honest discussions from going through flight training later in life (or at any age)
- What aviation actually looks like
- Clear explanations without aviation jargon
- Practical advice for beginners
- The mental, financial, and lifestyle realities of flight training
- Common myths about who can (and can’t) become a pilot
If aviation—or any big goal—has ever felt out of reach, you’re in the right place!
