A how-to guide on navigating the highs and lows of being a professional Ag pilot

For many young and up-and-coming pilots, a career in the aerial application industry seems like a dream job. But while it is a rewarding profession, it's not always as fun as it appears. So how do we as pilots know if it's the right choice?

With over four decades of flying experience, Ag pilot Rick McCord offers practical guidance on the various pitfalls and perks of piloting an agricultural aircraft. From pilot suitability to handling the demands of a small, rugged propeller plane, McCord educates readers on exercising good judgement when it comes to flying in inclement weather as well as other safety protocols and government regulations and standards.

Highlighting real-world anecdotes, McCord's professionalism and expertise is a welcome narrative for the profession and an ideal companion for anyone who is looking to become a professional Ag pilot or make it in the business.
