Great comments regarding decision making skills: that is the most important skill at the end of the day.

Thanks for this video. A few flight schools I’ve looked at here near Calgary really foo-foo the rec permit.
Kinda hope I can find one near me that really is interested in teaching it.

How do you upgrade to PPL from Recreational permit?

[@billbrisson]

Great video Adam, maybe you could expand on the requirements for the PPL vs the REC license, and if one could upgrade the REC license to a PPL in the future if needed?

[@harvsairservice]

Definitely Bill! We plan on talking more about that in the future for sure.
