Whether you are a student pilot, a pilot, or just an aviation enthusiast, this channel and the website are for you. Be sure to check out some great articles about helicopters and all aspects of aviation at PilotTeacher.com

My love of aviation began at a very young age and the fascination of everything that flies still lives to this day. This YouTube channel is a mix of aircraft doing their thing or answering questions to some of the most commonly asked aviation questions.

My day job as a full-time helicopter pilot allows me to dive deep into the topics and bring you up close and personal with many aircraft and the more questions I get in the comments the more videos I can create for you to answer those questions.

Being able to fly is a real privilege and taking you along for the ride when I can is something that I love to do!

Enjoy!
