Flight Advisors
| Flight Advisors are EAA member-volunteers who can
help you evaluate your own flying skills. They won't give you "yes" or
"no" on your flight abilities, but help you develop guidelines for making
your decision. If you need more instruction in a certain type of airplane,
a Flight Advisor can help you find it. If you choose to have a test pilot
fly your airplane instead, a Flight Advisor can help you find and evaluate
other pilots. Flight Advisors also have the resources of EAA available to
assist you. |
