YOU CAN FLY
SEE YOURSELF THROUGH
THE EYES OF YOUR
STUDENTS
BY YCF AND ASI STAFF
HOW DO YOUR CLIENTS PERCEIVE YOU? Do
you deliver exceptional training experiences?
Do you provide exemplary customer service?
If you deserve to be recognized as the " best of
the best, " encourage your students and clients
to complete the Flight Training Experience
Survey before October 31, 2022.
The survey results help identify and recognize
flight schools and flight instructors who are
doing a great job, and the data
is used to monitor trends in
the flight training industry.
Another benefit? Eligible flight
training providers will receive
customer feedback reports
that summarize the comments
from their customers to help
them see where they excel and
where they can grow.
Survey participants include pilots of all experience
levels, from new students to those earning advanced
ratings or taking a flight review. The survey is
quick and easy for participants to complete.
Survey participants may choose to enter into a
sweepstakes to win one of many valuable prizes.
The 2023 prizes are listed on the website.
Pass along this flyer to your students and clients,
reminding them to take the survey, which closes
on October 31, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern.

AOPA's Flight
Training Advantage
(AFTA) Update
Cathy Frankel, owner and CFI of Learn to Fly
Flight School at Kingman Municipal Airport (IGM)
in Arizona, enjoys using the AFTA web portal and
iPad-based training platform to help students
evaluate how they are progressing. " As soon as
I saw AFTA, I knew it was the right program, "
says Frankel. Watch the accompanying video and
read more about how Frankel and student pilot
Eric Depner interact with AFTA and how it helps
them be organized, prepare for, and debrief flight
lessons.
AFTA is a web portal- and iPad-based training
application that will help make the process of flight
training more effective for the student, the CFI
and the flight school. (Also, in this issue, see Chief's
Corner: Having a Game Plan-The Benefits of AFTA.)
