On Episode 20 of Stick Talk, I am joined by good friend and fellow aviator, Dan. Dan describes how hazardous attitudes and the lack of mandatory recurrent training have lead to unacceptable fatality rates in General Aviation. It is not only enough to encourage and participate in frequent proficiency efforts, recurrent training must be MANDATORY for ALL pilots. In addition, we discuss that Safety is expensive and how money often plays a major role in the overall safety culture of an operation. 

I recently had the opportunity to receive my first type rating! Thanks to the AZBAA Type Rating Scholarship, I was able to learn how to fly a Learjet 35A. It was an incredible experience and I describe all of the things I learned and appreciated about this opportunity.
