The Pilot Method is an independent educational resource. It is not FAA-approved, does not issue endorsements, and does not replace instruction from a certificated flight instructor. Aircraft-specific figures always defer to the AFM/POH for the specific airplane and configuration you are flying. This course is in development and is not available for purchase.
