~Be A Pilot Club soaring high in Caribbean skies~
Check the article out on the "About Us" page on the website. Compliments to The Daily Herald - St.Maarten N. A.
It is with pleasure that I be the first to welcome you to the website of the Be A Pilot Club West Indies. Our goal is to develop a new era of aviators within the Caribbean Region. With your assistance and support we can, without a doubt succeed. I believe that the youth of our region, with a little support and motivation, can succeed in anything they put their minds to. Everyone is ambitious, and everyone has their dreams. For those of you, who do see yourself as future aviators, whether that be, air traffic controllers, airport security, pilots, or engineers, we want you to know, we are here for you! We will help you build and secure a just and basic foundation of aviation knowledge in key areas that will have you readily prepared to go forth and excel. We prepare the student to pursue their PPL - Private Pilot License, through our theoretical and field studies. We also prepare the individual to be well mannered and stand proud throughout their society through skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership.
I wish you all much success and happy flying!
