Q&A

  • I love teaching landings because there is always a light bulb moment for the student

    when they figure it out. It’s probably one of the most rewarding parts of training.

  • Tailwheel

  • Someone that stays calm in stressful situations and is a good critical thinker

  • Always show up prepared for each lesson. Listen to your instructor if they ask you to study something because they have been there before and they know what you are going through.

  • Easily Private. You have to be able to explain information that you just learned a couple of months ago. It’s also your first checkride and you don’t really know what to expect.

  • Situational awareness

  • ETAR ILS 08. I flew the B767 into Ramstein with low ceilings. It's the same airport my dad flew the F-16 into after having a full panel failure. He got through the clouds and down to the runway by flying in on another F-16's wing.
