You’ve spent 💰💰💰 on gear and a license… Don’t quit now
Research shows that the majority of new pilots in Cape Town stop flying because they:
- Think the wind blows too much (weather forecasting)
- Don’t know where and when to fly (site knowledge)
- Feel alone and frustrated (social)
- Hurt themselves because of poor skills / decision making (pilot error)
