  • AFSP 038: Choosing The Right CFI School with special guest Carl Valeri!
    It is with great honor and pleasure to have my first guest on the podcast.  Of course, it would have to be none other than Carl Valeri from Aviation Careers Podcast and Stuck Mic Avcast!  Carl has been an inspiration of mine for producing this podcast and he continues to motivate me forward in my career.  As many of you know, I am in the market for a good CFI school and the task is daunting.  Carl and I discuss what makes a good CFI school and what to look for in your search.  Enjoy the episode - we had a blast recording it!

  • AFSP 034: IFR Currency
    Another first!  I had the pleasure of taking my wife up on a plane for the first time.  Unfortunately for her, I had to go up to do approaches so boring for her.  I was able to finish off my IFR currency by completing 4 approaches, a hold, and a track and intercept.

  • AFSP 030: The Road to CFI – The Beginning
    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.
