In this BONUS edition of the Audio Ground School podcast, we take a break from our private pilot online ground school lessons and continue our series on ”A day in the life” of different levels of pilots from student pilot to IFR to Commercial, to Instructor, to the Airlines and more. This series is meant to inspire other student pilots while also helping them realize the struggles that all pilots go through during their training. This weeks episode is an interview with the CFII and aspiring Air Force pilot Cass Brod. Cass is aweseom and has a super unique (which I love) teaching technique over on TikTok which I think you might enjoy but is possibly NSFW ha! I hope you all appreciate the interview.
