Your Questions, Answered!
Why is it important to build a strong, solid foundation before your training commences?
Flight training can seem overwhelming at times, especially during the first month when you’re soaking up all the information that is being taught. It is imperative that you create good habits from the beginning that will help you be a successful student, which in turn will allow you to become a successful pilot.
Daily Life and Making Connections
What are the rules of 8’s and how does it apply to becoming a successful pilot after your training as a student at PEA?
It is important to remember that although the final goal is to become a successful pilot, as a student, you don’t want to experience burnout. PEA wants to teach you how to divide your 24 hours in a day to be most efficient.
- 8 hours = Good night’s rest. A good night’s rest will prepare your mind and body for the next day.
- 8 hours = Flight training as a job. Treat your training like a job and use those hours dedicated toward school and studying.
- Last 8 hours? = Me time! We know how equally important it is to have some time to socialize, have fun and explore your gorgeous surroundings. That’s how our students have successfully balanced their life and professional pilot training.

With that being said, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our admissions team is here to help you! We can assist you with reaching out to Alumni, current mentors, instructors, and even current students. Everyone at Phoenix East Aviation wants to see you succeed!
