Flying is a complex activity. A student pilot needs to face many challenges during the process of learning how to fly an aircraft. Every day, more men and women are learning to take control of a simple piece of machinery that can be flown in complex ways. Since learning to fly an airplane is not only challenging for students but also for their flight instructors, it is important to motivate students by using quotes about flying.
As a student pilot, you have to get used to hearing a lot of things about your flying that you won’t like. You might hear them from your instructor, other pilots, or even your friends and family. Learning to pilot airplanes can be frustrating as there’s a lot to focus on and the required skills might not make sense in the beginning.
Student pilots are always doing things that have never been done before; pushing boundaries and learning things on the fly. They’re also full of quotes.
Here are student pilot quotes that I have collected just for you.
