Q&A

Close-up of a small white aircraft with a blue and red USAF T-G-14 decal, parked on the tarmac with the runway and a tree visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

  • Real - I got to do an ILS into Newark in a B-787 simulator. That was fun.

  • I’ve traveled to 40+ countries

  • Private - i had no reference of what a checkride would look like, and the checkride nerves are a REAL thing! It was also an early morning and longer flight, so the nerves just ramped up more. But my DPE made me feel so much more at ease once we got there.

  • Duncan (loved the spurs growing up and Tim Duncan, and love the DUNE books, and Duncan Idaho is one of the best pilots in there)

  • Personable, Fun and Camaraderie

  • Confidence and Humility. Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s not.
