⬇️🧠Finally a pilot👨‍✈️⬇️

I can’t tell you when, but it just happens one day. You’ll feel like an imposter, and then you’ll look back and see all that you’ve accomplished. Then you can confidently say, “I’m a pilot”

Early on it felt isolating becoming a pilot because non of my friends or family knew what it took to be a pilot, they just saw me at the airport all the time. Not knowing much beyond that I can’t blame them, but it was definitely an isolating time.

As I grew through my ratings, I met more and more people that were choosing the same struggle as me and it didn’t feel as lonely. (And that I wasn’t crazy for going after this career)

At the beginning it feels like you can’t get these ratings done fast enough and you’re hyper focused, which I think is good at the very beginning, there’s a lot to learn. Just don’t forget to look around on your way up and appreciate how far you’ve come and the people that have supported you in this journey along the way.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to other people in this community as well, it’s a small group and we should all be looking out for each other. Be careful not to burn bridges.

Other pilots, if you got some wisdom for the new guys and gals getting into this industry, drop it in the comments⬇️ I’d love to hear it and I’m sure it can help them out.

Thanks for stopping by! Share this with someone who might find it helpful! Talk to you soon🤙🏼

They might start calling me the back shirt bandit after these guys soloed so close to each other lol.

Congratulations .____ and for Soloing the airplane! Next step, cross countries 💪🏼

My students are awesome, my parents are awesome, Jesus is awesome, you guys and gals are awesome! Thanks for the 1000 hours to everyone that’s gotten me this far💪🏼
