Public Benefit Flying
Feed Your Passion
BY MACHTELD SMITH
STUDENTS AND CLIENTS MAY LOOK FOR WAYS TO USE THEIR
CERTIFICATE BEYOND THEIR CHECKRIDE OR SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT
REVIEWS. When they ask you, tell them they can do a lot! From getting
advanced certificates and ratings to becoming a flight instructor
themselves to branching out into other areas of general aviation such as
working in manufacturing, flying as a test pilot, learning to fly drones,
and more. You are the person who can inspire them to continue learning
and seek out a career in aviation.
But if an aviation career is not their cup of tea, how about suggesting
the rewarding path that public benefit flying can offer? The Air Care
Alliance (ACA) organization website lists public benefit flight groups
that provide patient and nonemergency medical transport, disaster
relief, animal transport, environmental support, and educational
and public services support, so there's ample opportunity to find and
connect with the volunteer group that suits your client's passion.
Come to think of it, giving through flying is priceless, so you might want
to pursue becoming a volunteer pilot yourself. Check out ASI's course
that explains the pathway to public benefit flying (airsafetyinstitute.
org/publicbenefitflying) and provide the link to the course to your
students and clients.
Let's feed our passion, help others to fly, and fly to help others.
