Alaska obviously has the highest. But which state has the 2nd highest?
Remember….this is PER CAPITA

Can you suggest a part-time business for a pilot with a commercial license and a 4-seater plane?

Once I obtain my commercial rating as a pilot, I’d like to be able to make some income with my skills, using a Cessna 172 Skyhawk (4-place) aircraft. Any ideas?

By the way, I’m near Hartford, CT. I’m thinking charter flights, small cargo transport, passenger transport, etc…

I need some information on flight lessons?

I want to take flight lessons just because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I pretty much just want to learn to fly light aircraft for pleasure, but I wouldn’t object to working part-time as a charter or light cargo pilot once in a while. I love flying! My issue is that I have no idea how to pursue it. How long are the basic courses? Are they expensive? Are their different types of pilot licenses? How long is a license good for? Where do I go?

What licenses and/or qualifications do I need to become an Air Charter/Air Taxi pilot and operator?

So let’s say I have access to a nice plane, and I want to use it to fly commercial charters. I know I need my commercial license, but what else? Do I need a certain number of hours? What about aircraft licensing and inspections?

Thanks in advance.
