United Airlines’ Post

This was one of the most fun Job Task Analysis workshops I’ve had the opportunity to participate in, including boarding a cargo ship, riding it out 5 miles to anchor, and climbing down the pilot ladder onto a launch boat! Learned so much and left with a huge respect for marine pilots and the important (and sometimes dangerous) work they do. Excited to be able to support Washington State’s Marine Pilot Exam and Simulation Assessment efforts. #psychometrics #JTA #jobanalysis #assessment #pilotage

Here are a few take aways from the FSANA, Flight School Association of North America conference in Las Vegas... (fsana.com) 1. Having an "outward-facing" person or persons in the school is important in terms of maintaining a finger on the pulse of the industry. Professional development is the first thing to go when things get either busy or tight. 2. It is important to "see" everything and everyone; but it's also important to "be seen" over and over again. Participate and weave yourself intro the fabric of the community. We all know that aviation is a small community, boy is it ever true. 3. If I could be bold enough to suggest a pivot for the organization, it might be to reinvigorate the focus on small and medium sized schools. FSANA has all of the infrastructure in place for this, it's built into their mission and ethics statement, to which we all agree. This doesn't happen top-down though, this is the responsibility of us small to medium sized business owners to step up to the table and offer content and support to the board of directors. 4. Be bold and engage in committees. I need to do this!! The opportunities are all there, go to their website and click on committees. Volunteer and follow through. I pledge to put my $$ where my mouth is on this... 5. I'll speak for myself... I shook many hands for the second and third times here. I listened to the government representatives, enriched my understanding of current initiatives and issues, learned from peers in breakout sessions, actually presented my views in my first such session, and enjoyed the company of friends. I'll definitely be at the next conference, and as I said above, I'll be engaging more deeply with this important organization throughout the year to come and beyond. If you are a flight school operator of ANY size, one plane to a hundred, you will benefit from membership in this important organization. More importantly you will be supporting FSANA in it's mission to serve us! #FSANA #Avier #flighttraining #aviationindustry #aviationsafety #aviationtraining

Pursuing your dream to become a professional pilot requires careful consideration of your flight training options, as selecting the right program will significantly impact your overall experience and career path. Two primary paths recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are Part 61 and Part 141, each with distinct features that cater to diverse learning styles, goals, and resources. ℹ️ Part 61 and Part 141 are two distinct flight training options for individuals seeking to become pilots. Part 61 focuses on certification requirements for recreational pilots, while Part 141 emphasizes structured education for professional pilots. Read our latest blog here ➡️https://lnkd.in/g5zppdfJ

Probably the biggest X factor that sets Venture West apart from any other flight school is how we guarantee our students time to build their hours! You get guaranteed airtime 3 days per week which is far better than some other schools where you're lucky to flight once a month. We believe this not only helps our students stay confident and proficient but it fosters a better community of aviators constantly talking about what they're actually doing in the air vs. theorizing about what could possibly happen. #becometheone #venturewest #flightschool

🌌🖖 Starfleet Reflections 🖖🌌 As I navigate the vast corridors of the educational Starfleet Academy, a stellar epiphany hits me: I'm not just a teacher; I'm the Captain of my classroom's USS Enterprise. Every day, my demeanor sets our course, either for a smooth voyage in the Alpha Quadrant or a challenging nebula storm in the Delta Quadrant. With the responsibility of a Starfleet officer, I realize my actions can either empower a young cadet or, unintentionally, send them towards the Borg. I strive to be the Captain Picard of my classroom, leading with wisdom and integrity. Because in every lesson, every interaction, my choices can either warp us towards a brighter future or a space standoff. #StarfleetEducation #TeachingJourney #StarTrekInspired #FutureLeaders #BoldlyTeaching (Note: For all the Trekkies out there, this is a fun analogy! Live long and prosper. 🖖)

"Ultimately, it’s the people – both the students and my coworkers – who make the experience of working for American Flyers so easy and enjoyable. I’m hoping to one day work at Southwest Airlines, where my dad is a captain. My dream would be to fly by his side as an FO," Kindsey McDaniel CFI in Addison, Texas.

WYVERN’s Flight Leader Program, the world’s first and most effective progressive aviation safety program, was designed to elevate beyond traditional safety methods and present a progressive way for operators to achieve Wingman and Wingman PRO certification. At its heart, the Flight Leader Program is about culture, professionalism, and human performance at your operation and in the industry. The program’s focus includes a high degree of emphasis on human and organizational factors – frequently overlooked aspects of the safety ecosystem cited as contributing or causal in 80% of serious incidents/accidents.    Through the Flight Leader Program, operators are offered a collaborative approach to safety, where they work with a WYVERN coach on a quarterly basis other than focus on common challenges that operators face, avoid pitfalls that might otherwise go unrecognized, focus on areas that need improvement, and help map out a pathway to safety excellence for your organization.   To learn more about WYVERN’s Flight Leader Program, visit here https://lnkd.in/eNtkqhfG   Or watch the video below! #aviation #bizav #aviationsafety
