What Readers Are Saying About The Book
Laura
This book provided everything I needed to get started taking my flight school to the next level. I highly recommend it for anyone seasoned or just starting out. Easy to read book with tactical tips I was able to implement from day one.
Gerald
This book impressed me in the ease at which the marketing process can be systemized into a few key steps. In this industry, we care much more about training pilots than running a business much of the time. That doesn't mean we should be afraid of enrolling more students. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking to start or grow a flight school.
Raminka

Behind The Book
Tim Jedrek
I'm on a mission to find 100 flight schools in the world to partner with and double their student body. Everyday, I work with the team at Right Rudder Marketing to implement and execute the latest technical strategies and tactics to move flight school businesses up higher on Google search. Our collective goal is to get those flight schools known to their prospective students.
It is truly awe inspiring to see our flight schools transform their operations into large scalable businesses. I love being a part of that because I know that by growing our flight schools' businesses, it drives more people into aviation and brings more pilots into the industry. And that's what really matters. Having a lasting impact on our students and the future pilots of the world.
What really mattered was not just the website. But instead how the website fit into a marketing plan as a whole. In an effort to grow my clients' businesses, I dived head first into marketing and sales. I attended conferences, read books, took courses to further my skills, and found mentors and coaches to guide me on the path of success. Having mentors and coaches to teach me the secrets of business was the 100LL fuel that I needed to grow my business to where it is today. That being said, that is one of the reasons I wrote this book. I hope that the Flight School Handbook of Marketing Knowledge can be your guide and serve as your coach and mentor to help you grow you flight school and aviation business as well.
