Best Range is the least amount of drag with least amount of power. Typically used for cross country trips or in situations where there is an engine failure and you need to find best glide speed. Best Endurance is finding the lowest power setting that will get you the longest time in the air. Ideal in cases where you're waiting for clearance to enter a busy airspace. private pilot license PPL training general aviation flight training Cessna [---] pilot lessons become a pilot flight school Canada pilot" [YouTube Link](https://youtube.com/watch?v=2jA_SjyhXcM) 2025-04-28T19:49Z [--] followers, [--] engagements "How Much Does a Pilot License REALLY Cost in Canada (2026 Guide) 0:27 - Ground School 3:05 Aviation Medical 7:00 PSTAR 9:05 Discovery Flight 9:32 Strategies to help retain knowledge 12:39 ROC-A 13:39 PPAER 16:47 Cost Tracking Spreadsheet Flight schools will tell you that getting your Private Pilot License (PPL) in Canada costs $15000 and takes [--] hours.

"Never Too Late: Midlife Flying Adventures In this lesson we covered Range and Endurance. Best Range is the least amount of drag with least amount of power. Typically used for cross country trips or in situations where there is an engine failure and you need to find best glide speed. Best Endurance is finding the lowest power setting that will get you the longest time in the air. Ideal in cases where you're waiting for clearance to enter a busy airspace. private pilot license PPL training general aviation flight training Cessna [---] pilot lessons become a pilot flight school Canada pilot"
