THE FLIGHT TRAINING EXPERIENCE PROJECT
A Momentary Pause on the 2020 Flight Training Experience Survey and Awards
Considering the challenges that flight schools were facing due the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a pause on the 2020 Flight Training Experience Survey and Awards. In place of our normal competition, we took the moment to build community, and were excited to take the opportunity to celebrate and recognize the vital work of flight training providers.
To do this, we sought stories where aviation inspired us or others, demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity, and showed how the flight training community contributes to aviation and our communities at large.
Some of these stories were highlighted during our presentation at the 2020 Redbird Migration, in social media, on AOPA’s digital platforms, and in AOPA’s magazines.
