Flight training through easy to understand video demonstrations.
Our website is a member-based video series that is designed to compliment your Private Pilot License (PPL) training courses. The Captain goes through the training manual and demonstrates various maneuvers, discusses flight controls and covers everything from the engine to the tail, in an easy to understand way.
We’re currently working on a series that aligns with your PPL test prep courses. Content is frequently updated and the captain is great at getting back and answering member questions. We believe everyone should be able to fly and know that flying with an instructor can sometimes be stressful. We’ve heard from hundreds of our fans that our video series really helps drive the lesson home and helps them to understand what their instructor was sharing.

With millions of views and over 75K subscribers on our YouTube channel…there are plenty of people out there to tell you why AskCaptainScott.com isn’t your average flight training website. Here is a small sampling:
This trainer seems spectacular! Very calm, well spoken... I've never flown a plane, but if I was going to, I'd want this man teaching me!

That was a really good landing and the instructor is awesome. So many on YouTube are rude and mean, I like this guys laid back demeanor.
~ Jeff Darnell
I went on a discovery flight couple years ago and didn't go back because of one reason or another, but not because I don't want to do it. Watching your videos have lit the fire, and this time I have the means and the desire to go for it. Thank you!
~Ivan Domenech
After watching hundreds of flying instructor videos this one is by far the best well explained and simplified. Great job Mr. Scott
~ Cluna
I don't fly anymore but I really enjoy your clear teaching.

My wife gave me a for my birthday a flight lesson. Watching a few hours video from Captain Scott and his niece was enough for me to know the controls and dash, take off, and do incline, heading and bank maneuvers - from knowing pretty much nothing about airplanes. At least for me, the video lesson style is super easy to understand, and it never gets borrowing. I typically do not fare as well with corporate video lessons which bore me after a short while. Captain Scott’s lessons in contrast have the right pace to keep you interested, while at that the same time not to overwhelm you.

“Loved hearing the basics in layman's terms, thank you! Talking and listening to the radio is the most intimidating function I see. You've got me shopping for a simulator.”

“ Great videos, thanks so much for making them, you have a great gift to make all these concepts tangible and understandable!”
Steve
“Scott. Thanks for your videos. As a student pilot 8hrs, I have added to my learnings from you in your simple and laid back approach.”
Frank
“Retired Army Cobra pilot and now retired MD500 police pilot, so here we go today will be my 1st day fixed wing flying. Thank you for the help and information. I'm looking forward to it.”
Joseph
“You totally inspired me to do it, I’ve been putting it off since I was 20 and I’m now 40, all booked in and ready to go :-) Thanks Captain.”

TO OUR PAYPAL FANS
After moving our website to this new platform, we were informed that PayPal doesn’t work for member areas. We have been working with the platform provider to rectify the situation but until that is updated, perhaps this is of interest. Paypal has a Prepaid debit Mastercard® that works with your existing paypal account. We are looking at other options but until we can do more - I hope this helps some of you out.
