Line Up and Wait
Ok, so as some of you may know, I got my PPL back in September. Now its November and I want to take "a friend" flying with me. This friend is up for it, but the mom doesn't like the idea of small planes(probably doesn't help that I barely know the mom tbh). I remember the convincing I had to go through with my parents to get them to let me do flight training, so I can 100% see where the mom is coming from (Ironically, her husband is a pilot in the reserves, but from my understanding she hasn't been exposed much to his flying ).
I still want to take this person flying obviously, and considering I nor the friend are legally adults, I can't really ignore the parents. The only option I see here is to build trust with the parents and talk to them about it and eventually get them to approve. I was wondering what suggestions you all may have to convince the parents/to help put them at ease that I may not have thought of to hopefully speed up this process.
P.S. This could apply to many situations, but take "a friend" as you wish
