- 3. (Aug 21, 2025) How do you accomplish CRM on a daily basis?
- I teach students all day. We operate most flights as a crew, even if they don't realize it. CRM extends beyond the cockpit. I am lucky at L3 to have many people there to help make every flight a success. Dispatchers, flight supervisors, maintenance crew, fuel truck drivers, ATC. They all offer something towards my flight.

- 6. (Jul 21, 2025) Tell me about yourself.
- I have flown for 33 years , my experience has been flying single and twin engine aircraft, turbo props most of them.My last job was flying for Sander Geophysics for 3 months with Survey Flights. I flew Turbo Commander before and worked Part 121 and Part 135 in Colombia.
- I started flying back when I was 14 years old and have not stopped since. Began on a Cessna 172. I got my private pilots license through a school called Centennial Aviation Academy at PDK. I attended Middle Tennessee State University and graduated a semester early. I completed Instrument - Multi and also completed my CFI/CFII certificates there.
- Tell them about YOU they don’t want to hear that all you can talk about is flying. The captain that did my technical said the last thing he wants to talk about when leaving work is flying and wants people who have an identity outside of flying
- I’m a hard worker a go-getter had a career in law-enforcement where I learned many valuable skills all relatable to flying ; skills such as being a good communicator being a problem solve a critical thinker having good situational awareness all skills which I have been practicing for the last 35 years I’m a go-getter I’m hands-on I like to be out there working. When it comes to aviation I am constantly learning. started flying about 10 years ago when I took my first lesson and the bug bit me I was hooked ; put myself through all my ratings and I never failed a check ride . for the last seven years I’ve been fortunate enough to fly for three different families who have trust in me to be their pilot. now I’m ready to take the next step and become a professional airline pilot a dream that I’ve had for as long as I can remember

- Yes, I explained what happened and why it happened. Discussed how I learned from it and have used it to my benefit as an instructor
- No - they then asked what I think contributed to my success: self motivation. I was always nervous about the flight portion of a checkride so I always overcompensated by studying really hard on ground knowledge.
- Be honest since they will find out anyway. Explain to them in the best detail what happened and what you learned from the experience.
