Pilot
I am a current student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I am 18
years old and love to fly.
When I was little my mother always used to put my hair in curlers and dress
me up in dresses every time we went out on one of her flights. She is a flight
attendant for United Airlines and currently a purser for the company.
What convinced me to be a pilot was the aviation industry. Every time I'm in
an airport I just get this rush of adrenaline knowing that from that location
you and anyone else can go anywhere in the world. That kind of freedom is
amazing.
I am currently a private pilot. I am almost done getting my instrument rating
and very excited for that. I have flown Cessna 172's round dial and a
diamond eclipse (DA20) and currently flying C172 Nav3 G1000. The G1000's
are very nice. I have flown in California and in Florida. I first started flying in
California but then attended a solo camp here at Embry-Riddle in 2007. The
solo camp was for 3 weeks and at the end of the course I soloed. The
experience was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't fly for a year and a half after
that due to finances. I finally started up again last summer of 2009 and
finished my private course in 3 weeks at American Flyers in Pompano Beach,
FL. 8 hours a day with flight and ground got a little brutal but it was totally
worth it. I started my freshman year this year at Embry-Riddle and I'm loving
it.
I am currently working toward being an airline pilot. And hope to get a good
job after I graduate.
On my first solo my instructor gave me the wrong tower frequency so I was
calling for take off clearance but I was calling another airport 20 miles away.
Fun times.
What activities do you suggest for young children or young adults to
prepare them for a career like yours? What are your future plans?
Just get your kids or anyone involved in aviation if they show an interest in
it. If you just expose them enough to the aviation environment I am sure
they will fall in love with it. I'm starting my CFI course in the fall and hope to
get my commercial finished this summer.
