Back to the Beginning

I realized that in my zeal to begin talking about business aviation for the pilot who's also the business owner, I forgot to start at the beginning of the story.

Why would a small business invest in flight training and a light airplane?

Traditionally, all the sole proprietor and small company owner/pilots were pilots first as a hobby. They realized, at some point, that these vehicles are useful for doing business.

What I'm trying to do is "spread the gospel", so to speak, about about business aviation. There's no need to relegate business flying until your company can afford the latest and greatest jet. You can get a demonstrable payback on your investment with a used aircraft. Then, once you get some experience and see exactly what the aircraft can do for you and your company, your business can decide if it wants to invest more.

Next time around - a couple of specific scenarios to help illustrate my point.

Clear skies and tailwinds!
Mike
