Overview
The first waypoint on a filed route: private pilot, instrument, commercial, ATP — and an airline flight deck.
I'm working through FAA private pilot ground school, tracking every chapter toward the written exam. Aviation rewards the same habits as engineering — discipline, systems thinking, checklists, and calm decisions under pressure — and I train them daily.
