COMING SOON
The first entry in the journey
Why I'm documenting the road toward professional aviation and where the journey stands today.
Documenting the journey from general aviation and aircraft ownership toward a professional flying career — one flight, one lesson and one hour at a time.
Road to the Flight Deck is my personal record of the path toward professional aviation.
I'll share the flights, training, decisions, challenges, mistakes and milestones that happen along the way — along with the places and people that make general aviation worth pursuing in the first place.
This isn't a story written after reaching the destination. It's being written while the journey is happening.
Real-world flying, cross-country trips and the everyday experiences that build judgment as much as they build logbook time.
IFR flying, proficiency, aircraft systems and the constant process of becoming a safer and more capable pilot.
Following the path from general aviation toward the first professional flying opportunity — and everything that comes after it.
My Glasair Sportsman isn't just transportation. It's the airplane in which I'm building experience, exploring new destinations and developing the skills that will carry into professional aviation.
Why I'm documenting the road toward professional aviation and where the journey stands today.
Flights, airports, weather decisions and lessons learned from flying the Sportsman.
Exploring the choices, opportunities and realities of turning aviation into a profession.
Flights, photographs, videos, lessons and milestones from the continuing journey toward professional aviation.
