PATRICK CHOVANEC

Patrick Chovanec never imagined he could, until the Covid-19 pandemic pushed him in an unexpected direction. Climb into the cockpit with him and find out what it's like to go, step by step, from passenger to pilot... If you've come here looking for even more on aviation, this is the place. You'll find pages devoted to historical aircraft, videos that further illustrate topics I discuss in my book, and a collection of links to helpful resources for pilots and students... Patrick Chovanec wrote Cleared for the Option: A Year Learning to Fly for readers who share the curiosity he had - about what pilots actually learn and do to become pilots.
