Help Saad become a pilot!
Donation protected
⚠️Update: I now have 14 hours of flight training in the Cessna 172. Training has been going good and I have been progressing nicely. I have been working on things like landings, straight and level flight, and navigation. For my first milestone in my training I need 35 hours of dual flight time (flying with an instructor). I have done around 14 hours. I need an estimated 21 more hours for the requirement I need training with my instructor. I still have a long way to go and donations are greatly appreciated thank you.

Hello everyone, My name is Sa’ad Drake and I am fundraising for my private pilot license. I aspire to become a corporate pilot in the future, and getting my private pilots license is the first step. I have already put in a lot of work to start off my journey, I have paid for my ground school training, and first flying lessons. Getting my license comes with a lot of benefits, not only will I be certified to fly a plane anywhere in the world, I will have the foreknowledge I need going into college to reach my goal of a career in aviation. All the money that I collect will go into my flight training at Lake Elmo aero. (Lake Elmo airport) which will pay for the plane I will fly, my instructor, and the fuel. Which will be approximately $180 an hour. This money will also cover other costs necessary for me to get my license. Getting my license will not be cheap, and that is why I need your help. With the money that I will collect I will be able to, God willing become a private pilot at 17 years old. And who knows, maybe I will fly some of you in the future!
