Caveat Aviator

  • This is my personal experience only, not a course in aviation. Under 18, get your parent's permission before flying.
  • Some terms are defined via links to the glossary.
  • All locations (mostly airports) mentioned are in Florida, except where indicated. Airport abbreviations are listed in parentheses after the name.
  • Private and instrument training was based at Vandenberg Airport (VDF, formerly X16) in Tampa.
  • No animals were harmed during the making of this web page, but some birds had to take evasive action. (So far, no moose on the runway.)
