Piloting is challenging, whether you’re in the throes of primary training, pursuing your first pro piloting job, or weathering setbacks in your aviation career.
I was recently interviewed by hosts John Niehaus and Gita Brown of the terrific Calm Cockpit Podcast, regarding how to navigate and conquer such challenges regardless of your status on the aviation ladder.
