Nick took me from bystander to pilot in training
I did not intend to finish ground school or to get a pilot's license. But PartTimePilot drew me in. I was busy working, stressed out, and only signed up so I could help my wife with the technical side of her PartTimePilot lessons. Getting through all the regulatory and procedural details necessary to become a pilot sounded like an unappealing mess. But Nick made the material so accessible that, much to my surprise, less than eight weeks later I was endorsed to take the FAA written exam and signed up for flying lessons. I decided to get some practical experience before taking the FAA exam, and passed a month later with 92%. Now I have an engaging new passion, and am well on my way to a pilot's license. The free audio podcasts sucked me in. I started listening to them on my way to and from work. By the end of the week I'd listened to 11 sections. And then it hit me: I'm already signed up for the course, why not take the section quizes? Passed that first batch in an afternoon. Suddenly life felt more relaxed. I had something fun and productive to do! Sure, some sections required serious study, but I had never imagined that it could be so engaging. And at every step of the way, Nick provided help and encouragement. I hit a question on something and emailed Nick about it that first Saturday afternoon. It blew me away when I got an immediate answer! He always made sure I knew that he was pleased to get questions, and to help. Nick: Thank you for showing me the way!
