Pilot to Pilot podcast episode 30 featuring Colin Henry: CFI Building Time. This is the first episode of 2018 and I can't wait to share it with you all. Colin is a current CFI in California building his time before he figures out what his next move is.

Why it is important to recognize how you learn. Why it is important to find a good balance between flying in weather and saying no to flying. What was Colin's training like?

Why he failed his multi-engine check ride. What is the one thing that gets students in trouble with their check ride? If you are afraid of stalls you shouldn’t use that as an excuse to stop practicing them.

In this episode you’ll learn
  • 01How Colin didn’t love flying when he was younger
  • 02How he slowly warmed up to flying and became a sim geek
  • 03How a TBM was Colin's first plane to fly
  • 04How martial arts helped Colin realize his love for teaching
