Let's Go FLYING . . .
Scott won an international competition to design a new paint scheme for the Socata TB-21 Trinidad, shown here on the cover of Private Pilot.
“Prepare for the unknown, unexpected, and inconceivable … after 50 years of flying I’m still learning every time I fly.”
~ Gene Cernan, American astronaut, eleventh person to walk on the moon
Nothing in life comes anywhere close to the experience of flying an airplane; it is a combination of science and art all mixed together with the coolest view available. If you've ever dreamt of becoming a pilot, there's no time like the present to fulfill that desire! Stop dreaming and start flying . . . Scott can help!
GETTING STARTED
It all begins with a Discovery Flight. We’ll meet in the super-cool retro-styled office of Route 66 Flight School at Oklahoma City's Wiley Post Airport. After some brief introductions, we’ll buckle in and start the engine (using the checklist, of course).

In just a few minutes, we will align the airplane with the runway centerline and lift off into the sky. But this will be no simple thrill ride. You will actually FLY the aircraft with Scott guiding you on a separate set of controls. We’ll fly some gentle maneuvers then return – all too soon – to the airport. Even though your feet will be back on the ground, your heart may still be in the clouds. After your flight, enjoy a soda in Route 66 Flight School's classic 50s diner booth!
Flight student Joey is all smiles during his lesson.
WHAT THEN?
If you wish to start flight training, we’ll work together to set up your training schedule. Scott will provide you with a number of resources and a syllabus that will lead you step-by-step to earning your wings. Scott has published several articles that will tell you even more about pilot training and how to make the most of your flight lessons.
A QUICK OVERVIEW
Your flight training program will be divided into four Stages:
Stage 1: Basic Flight Procedures. This is where you learn all of the basic skills needed to
fly the airplane safely. This initial stage culminates with your memorable first solo flight!

When not teaching others to fly, Scott can be found floating through the sunny Oklahoma skies in "Spots," his 1956 Piper Tri-Pacer.
Stage 2: Navigation, Instrument Flight, and Night Flying. After you have soloed, we will
build on your skills by adding more advanced procedures that will increase your confidence and widen your
understanding of the plane’s capabilities.
Stage 3: Cross-Country Flight. This is where we put all of the pieces together on several trips to
other airports. You’ll do all of the aviating, navigating, & communicating . . . and you’ll have a blast!
Stage 4: Check-ride Preparation. In this final part of your Private Pilot training, we’ll hone your
newly earned capabilities toward a successful flight with an FAA examiner.
It's all designed to develop you into a safe, competent aviator!
