This is not a book for pilots. It’s not technical. And it’s not filled with jargon.
It’s for the rest of us. The ones who always wondered what it might be like to fly, but had no idea where to even start.

If you’ve ever looked up at the sky and thought, Could I actually do that?, this book is your gentle but honest yes. Demystiflying is a friendly, motivating guide for complete beginners who are curious about becoming a pilot but feel overwhelmed by the process. You don’t need to “speak pilot.” You don’t need to understand what altitude, ATC, or yaw means. You just need curiosity and maybe the tiniest whisper of a dream.

Author Kine A. Paulsen started where you are. Completely outside the aviation world, unsure where to begin. What she discovered, and what she shares with warmth, humor, and humility, is that you can become a pilot. Even if no one in your family flies. Even if you’re older, anxious, or unsure. Even if you’ve never stepped into a cockpit before.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• What it actually takes to become a pilot (including money, mindset, and time)

• The most common challenges and how to overcome them

• Which license might be right for you and what the heck “Part 61” means

• How to chair-fly and practice without ever leaving the ground

• Why the aviation community is one of the most welcoming in the world

• What you can do once you get your license and all the magical places you might go

This is the book many new pilots wish they had. It’s practical without being intimidating. Empowering without being salesy. And full of real stories from over 200 pilots around the world.

This book is not for you if:
You’re already a professional pilot looking for advanced tips.
You want technical manuals or FAA textbooks.
You’re not interested in personal growth, mindset, or the emotional side of learning something new.

But if you’re curious, eager, and ready to dream just a little bigger, Demystiflying will help you take that very first step into the sky.

In Demystiflying, Kine Paulsen takes you on a journey inside the minds of over 200 pilots to show you exactly what it takes to become a pilot without the confusing jargon. Perfect for anyone who dreams of flying but feels intimidated by the technical terms and complexity, this book is your easy-to-understand pilot 101. Whether you’ve never been in a cockpit or you’ve already logged some hours, this book will help you feel confident and inspired to take the leap into aviation.

Even experienced pilots will enjoy reflecting on how far they’ve come on their own journeys. This book is designed to motivate and inspire, not replace formal training, by breaking down the complex world of aviation into relatable stories and straightforward advice.

Kine Paulsen, who began her own flying journey in her mid-20s, shares her personal struggles and triumphs. She too was overwhelmed by the information, costs, and scheduling issues that come with learning to fly. After taking a break, she couldn’t find any books that made the process feel accessible. So, she created Demystiflying—a fun, no-nonsense guide to help others navigate the world of aviation with confidence.
