My first three months full-time with NBAA have been focused on learning all things business aviation, including attending NBAA-BACE and Bombardier Safety Standdown. I, admittedly, have been drinking from the fire hose and enjoying every bit of it. I will share more in the future, but for now I wanted to pop in and share that my article has been published in Business Aviation Insider- Student Edition! Our incredible (and arguably crazy) communications team gave me the autonomy to write about anything I thought would resinate with young folks. I knew I had to jump on the opportunity share some of the tips and tricks I have learned about the FAA medical process. It is by no means fully encompassing, but I hope it will help someone, somewhere, navigate the process to joining us in the sky. I owe a huge thank you to Thom Patterson, Collin King, and Mark Larsen for making this happen! Please check out the article and let me know your thoughts!

A sincere thank you to the Bombardier Safety Standdown for the collaboration and support in sharing info about #NBAAYoPro at this incredible event. We’ve received many photos and messages from YoPros in attendance, and are greatly appreciative of their efforts to help foster the future of the business aviation industry together. #SSD2024
