A private pilot certificate is an immense accomplishment, it is also is immensely valuable as a business traveling tool. It allows you to experience the world from a new perspective, and go places, that others can't, on timelines, that car travel and airline travel don't allow. It is the ultimate in freedom and responsibility. Imagine flying to the coast or mountains for lunch or spending a weekend in a remote destination without havin to drive or dealing with airline hassles. This license can be done in as little as 40 flight hours, with mastery of the fundamentals of airmanship, navigation, and communication, and a passing score on a very reasonable written test.
