Airmanship 2.0 by PilotWorkshops

Your Next Challenge

Many pilots fly the same flights over and over and never expand their capabilities. Don’t fall into that trap. There are ways to break out from a flying rut and use “buck

Checkride Traps

Checkrides are stressful. Discover the mistakes examiners see again and again, the strategies that make checkrides successful, and the lessons that really should be taugh

Passengers and Copilots

A great first flight can spark a lifelong passion in another person. If handled poorly, it can scare someone off for good. Hear how the most experienced pilots conduct a

Inadvertent IMC

Inadvertent IMC continues to kill pilots. Much has been said about avoidance, but that’s no help for a pilot who ends up in the clouds despite the best intentions. Explor

Stalls, Spins, and Upsets

Because spins aren’t required for private pilot training, most pilots have never experienced one. Examine the importance of actual spin, upset, or aerobatic training. Con

Embarrassing Mistakes

We’ve all seen video of pilots landing gear-up with the horn blaring in the background. Errors like this seem simultaneously unbelievable and inevitable. Hear the honest

Emergency Psychology

All pilots train for emergencies, but you don’t know how you’ll react until you experience one for the first time. Learn what made the difference from the war stories of

Engine Failures

Some engine failures end in off-airport landings and others end in disaster. The difference can hinge on how pilots prepare for the potential event. Reviewing where pilot

Non-Standard Runways

The textbook training for short, soft, and non-standard runways is a poor match for what pilots encounter in the real world. Learn practical tips for the real deal and ho

Nighttime Hazards

Flight at night, especially single-engine, brings special hazards. Plots often overestimate some of the risks while underestimating others. If you choose to fly at night,

Traffic patterns & non-towered ops

From pattern entries to best practices to self announce, there are few topics more contentious than pilot behavior in the traffic pattern—particularly at non-towered airp

Busy airports, airspace, and ATC

It’s said that if you understand the rules you can fly to any airport no matter how complex. That’s not how it actually feels in the real world. However, pilots can build

Go/no-go and continue/stop

Go/no-go decisions are hard. The decision to continue a challenging flight or end it is even harder because the pilot is already committed. There are ways for pilots to m

Issues with "the feet"

Many pilots have sloppy rudder technique (or none at all). See why pursing good technique matters—even If so many pilots routinely ignore the rudder and get away with it.

The last 500 feet

Let’s talk about the only mandatory flight maneuver: landings. Explore where pilots get sloppy, lazy, or just go wrong between the base-to-final turn and the moment when

The first 700 feet

From the initial application of takeoff power, through rotation, to the first turn on crosswind or out of the pattern, some pilots have positive control … and others are
