Although limited, there are a number of career choices for entry level pilots. What we refer to as the first rung of the aviation career ladder, though, is the CFI rating. A great many of pilots begin their professional career as a Certified Flight Instructor. The road there, though, is not so simple. Studying for your CFI rating will seem like an insurmountable task but the hard work and dedication you put forward will shape your future forever. To begin, you must start somewhere and today, I discuss with you the beginning of my journey to becoming a CFI.

I'm changing things up this episode. I don't have any training material or school related topics to discuss so I'm calling on you, the listener, to write in with your opinion or experience with the two topics of today. As you know, getting to 1500 hours isn't easy for everyone. Should I buy a trainer aircraft and lease it to a flight school and then use the plane whenever I want? That's topic number one.
Topic two is about whether or not we will ever see a fully automated airline. Say what? No pilot on board? You must be crazy. Well, it's already being done; not with passengers but drones the size of 737s exist and automation is a reality. However, will we see it in commercial air travel?

We start the show off with a quick reference for aviation resumes. We will definitely have to dive into this topic in more detail another time. Part two is what a lot of people have been asking about. ATP Flight School - also knows as All ATPs - is a huge accelerated flight school program. Because of it's size in influence, I get many questions about the program specifically. I answer all the major questions about ATP flight school today.

In this Bonus Episode, I answer the same question from two different listeners - should I choose an Accelerated Program or not? Both individuals are looking to start or continue their flight training and are considering an accelerated program but their situations are very different. Listen in to see if the answers are the same or different.

Hello again everyone! You've completed all your certificates and are now looking for an aviation job. What kind of jobs can a 250 hour fresh off the presses commercial pilot actually get? And now that you've had all this training, have you really improved as a pilot? Do your skills now prove your training? I'll answer this question as well in today's episode.

Hello everyone! It's been a little while but for good reason. I'm back with episode 23 and I think you'll like it. I talk about my current progress in my accelerated program in this episode. I also have an updated opinion about accelerated flight schools that I feel you will find interesting. This is especially true if you are considering an accelerated program and have commitments outside of school such as a family or a job. Initially, I said it's possible but lately, I am feeling that it may not be. Listen in!

Hello and welcome to episode 19! Today we talk about the Private Multi-Engine Add-On. Last week we covered the SIM portion of training, so this week we'll cover the actual flights. Basically, you'll be replicating what you did in the SIM but in the actual aircraft this time. Folks, these twin engine aircraft are a BLAST to fly. It's just downright awesome. There's a LOT more work involved, but the flying itself is just great. People say, "You've upgraded to a big boy plane," and it certainly feels that way. Flying multi-engine aircraft is tons of fun!

We've arrived at the Multi-Engine training portion of flight school! In this week's episode, we discuss what to expect during the first week of your multi-engine add-on which basically consists of SIMs and ground schools. There's not a lot to discuss here, but you know that I can talk for hours about nothing. My first week of Multi-Engine training consisted of SIMs only. I got sick half-way through the week so I didn't get to fly until the nest week.

This may be the most fun you have during your time in the accelerated flight school program - the Crew Cross Country! Together with another student - that's right, no CFI - you'll fly your way across the country! Well, maybe not ACROSS the country, but you'll fly to new, exciting places. And during this time, you won't have an instructor to rely on. You'll rely on your training. There will be frustrating times and there will be awesome times. You may love your crew partner or you may not. There are a lot of variables but in the end you'll have a great time!

So, I bombed my first Instrument Rating Practical Check Ride but I passed my second time around. What were the differences and why did I pass on the second attempt? I discuss a successful check ride with you in Episode 16 and how you can apply my failures to make your first attempt successful. Hooray!
