Since the last update I haven’t done much flying. I finally booked the plane last weekend but with winds gusting in excess of 30 knots I felt it would be better to put it off.
Things have been extremely busy between work and going back to school for CTI. So far it’s been a great experience, minus the 1-2 hour commute 3 times a week, but not only is it preparing me for a career in air traffic control but the courses are actually a great supplement to being a pilot. I am taking 4 courses right now including an aviation business class, a safety and medical factors course, a navigation course and an air traffic control environment course. Since I have a bachelors degree and my private pilot already, I was able to waive 2 classes and that will hopefully allow me to finish the program by the end of this year.
If you have any questions about the CTI program at Mt. SAC, feel free to email me or comment and I will try and answer questions to the best of my ability. I look forward to getting back in the air and filming it with my new Kodak HD camera. Until then, wish me luck on the ATC job and keep checking back for updates.
