Welcome to Pilot in Real Life

Pilot in Real Life was launched May 2022. Our mission: Stirring pilots to experience higher levels of performance, passion, precision, and proficiency via education, persistence, and constant vigilance. Our objective is to inform and inspire aviators with every blog and podcast we publish.

Passion. To reach the highest levels of pilot skill, aviators must possess a strong passion for the craft. A pilot's heart must be in it. Passion is not learned, but it can be stirred to achieve. PIRL exists to stir passion and inspire aviators to be as successful as possible.

Performance. In your early days of learning to fly, the airplane flew you. After practicing again and again and working very hard, everything turned around. You started flying the airplane. From that moment you forward, you increased your pilot performance. At PIRL, we want to see you grow in your skills and fly at the highest skill levels possible.

Precision. Good stick and rudder is necessary to be a good pilot, but learning to fly by the numbers is another level of flight altogether. Add precision to every maneuver and you will go from being a good pilot to a really great one. PIRL seeks to help pilots around the world learn to fly well by flying precisely on each and every flight.

Persistence. This word means "continuing firmly in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition." We know that pilots face threats when flying. However, add ample training and experience, a pilot can apply persistence which will be needed when faced with trials and possible threats.
