FYI, I am NOT a pilot, but do hope to be one someday. I overcame a lot of obstacles as I have a great passion in aviation industry, and with my hearing loss, and worked really hard to get very far in the industry as an Mechanical Engineer. So I'm happy to share what I know.
I've worked with a lot of pilots...mostly test pilots for Adam Aircraft, Cessna and Boeing, they taught me a lot, but can never truly understand the experience of a pilot until I fly on my own. One day, one day.
