“Most pilots should try to learn as much as they can from other pilots,” says Kerry McCauley. “Learn how they get into and out of trouble. That’s how you can let their experience teach you.” A former international ferry pilot and author of Ferry Pilot: Nine Lives Over the North Atlantic, Kerry has answered the question, “What could possibly go wrong?” time and time again. As the title of his book suggests, Kerry has managed to survive countless mishaps and close calls throughout the years, which makes him the perfect resource for anyone and everyone who is interested in pursuing a career in aviation.

Kerry explains that, ever since he was young, he has been an adventure seeker. Whether it be skydiving, scuba diving, skiing, or any other exhilarating activity, he has always been drawn towards experiences that test his personal limits. Although he originally started racking up flying hours to become a commercial pilot, Kerry admits that this job didn’t fulfill his indefatigable search for adventure. After 30 years of delivering small used aircraft to locations around the world, Kerry has now “settled down” and owns and operates a skydiving school along with his wife and kids.

Tune into this week’s episode of Deviation Approved for a conversation about aviation adventures, successes, and catastrophes. Get a sneak peek into Kerry’s riveting flying career, which he writes about in detail in his recently published book. As Kerry explains, it is absolutely crucial for pilots to learn as much as possible from other pilots to inform their own experiences. And there is truly no better way to start the learning process than by listening to Kerry’s enthralling tales!
