Hey Everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Raymond. I’m so excited to finally begin my journey to becoming an airline pilot at 36 years old. I start ATP on September 5 and will be attending the San Antonio Location. I use to be a Police Officer in NYC for 10 years but had to retire due to an injury. Looking forward to graduating from the program and meeting everyone! Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks for that. I’m 36 years as well and been with Costco 18 years. From learning the basics of flying rc to believing that anything is possible. I’ll be there soon. Good luck Raymond on your travels bud.

Hello Everyone,
The first flight went well, no fear and just smiles and the yearning to develop into a more proficient pilot was all that kept running through my mind. My CFI, did great in having us dive fully into the flight inspection to the take off, cruising, and landing. I was able to take control of the flight during cruise and practiced making turns and using rudders during taxi to head back to the hangar.
I hope each day gets better when I start the program in Dec/Jan. I’m already reading materials now so I can get a head start on the exam before starting the program.

Eduardo,
I am glad the flight went well and that you are so enthused. Any progress that you can make on those writtens will be a huge help to you in the program. I would shoot for consistently scoring 90% or better on the practice exams before you take the actual exam.
