Such a pretty view 😌🤩

Nice footage, but sad to see.

Did you change jobs?

Love the PC 12. My go to plane. Another great video Kaity

Cute ending! I'll make sure to log that "SIC" time.

What’s up with the audio and what can we expect from your future videos?

Are you on social media??

Everyone, pilotkaity edited this herself!!! Make sure she knows how great she did!! Looks like I’m out of a job 😂😂

🎉🎉🎉

Lots of right rudder needed for that beast?

Thank you for sharing

Full video

Aww that drive in MT is beautiful! My mom lived in the Bitterroot valley for a few years, then up in Seeley Lake. Makes me miss visiting up there!

Thanks for the video! The wildfires around Stanley have been in the news, and it’s nice to get an aerial view of the smoke to understand the scope of the fires.

What airport are you based out of? I’m Part 135 (CJ3) and probably cross paths with you fairly frequently.

Thank you to all the firefighters working all summer to keep these from spreading 🙏 Fly safely -K🦋 Follow @pilotkaity for more! #pilotkaity#learntofly#cfi#flighttraining#aviation#airplane#pilotlife#pilatus#ngx#womeninstem#pilotkaity#checkride#testprep#fitness#health#trainingcontract#pilothiring#summer#airportcamping#stanley#hotshot#smokejumper#wildlandfirefighter

I can not find the type of water filter you mentioned that you would post.?.?.?

Great Tips. Thanks

Hi Kaity, you said the pilot shortage is projected to effect pilot hiring through “2023” and it looks like this video was posted April 2024 so did you mean 2033 or am I missing something?

What I’ve learned so far is that you’re paying for your time. Don’t be afraid to ask any question. I was start with “stupid question” or “forgive me for being ignorant on the matter but…” the majority of instructors I’ve encountered love what they do and they are more than willing to explain things in different ways in order for the student to understand.

Is that the PC 12 NGX?

Nice video Thank you for sharing 😊

You got it girl ❤

I recall when I was a student pilot, i had to know WHY. Like flaps - Why 10, 20 and then 30 degrees? If you know why you use flaps, you will better understand when you do NOT use 30 degrees on final.

All of us learn at different ways and rates ; patience of the instructor and the student to learn is key !

Yeah, and there are lots of crappy instructors out there that think just because they know something they can teach something.

This was me the other day on first time talking to ATC. I accidentally added an extra number to my tail number the entire time I was on the radio 🤦🏻‍♂️

Awwww, so cute. LOL Cheers Pilots

Wait is that why airplanes take so long to takeoff

After 14 years I got mine two weeks ago 🎉

Can you address “Atlanta” to multiple airports as long as you’re on their frequency it doesn’t matter right? Because “Atlanta” is like 100 airports 😮

So I just hit 1500 hours and am really feeling this hiring freeze. What’s your thoughts on working abroad vs only focusing on the US? PS I am an American citizen only.

That’s beauty and I’m not talking about the airplane either!

Such a helpful video but more importantly super encouraging and motivational! Thanks so much!

Appreciate for the information sharing, I wondering if this only fits only for native Americans, those international students who can only can go 141 training still need to spend almost 80k from zero to MEI at FL.😢

Been on Noom for 2 years which was a huge learning experience for me in terms of health, eating and wellness. I'm 52 and just passed my 1st class medical a few weeks ago (always just had a 3rd class until I decided to go 1st to see if my future might involve flying professionally). CPL/instrument, on my way to ME training.

New to your channel and just hit Subscribe! Really enjoyed the content and pacing of the video. I'm 52, started flying 5 years ago with ASEL CPL/instrument, and have my multi-engine commercial training in a couple of weeks. I have my CFI writtens out of the way so after ME, I'm looking to get my CFI and see where it goes from there. Dream is to be a part 91 corporate pilot, if the opportunity presents itself. I have an engineering day job which I still enjoy and has blessed me with compensation that's hard to let go at the moment, but my youngest will be done with college in 3 years so things should get a bit more flexible. My wife is a homemaker and has supported my flying goals 100%! Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Always appreciate any input to my aviation journey!

Did 91 corp and fracs for years. I miss a lot about it, but airline life is truly bliss. The pay/benefits/time off just cannot be touched, these things matter as we get older and have families etc. Enjoy it!

As a pilot with crohn's, this is an amazing video!!

That’s awesome!

When you did your private did you do it in a 172? And when you moved onto study for light sport did you move onto a different aircraft, a light sport one?

Do you fly out of KHMP?

I have the opposite tendency where I tend to drift to the right a little bit on takeoff.

Let the haters hate. Youre living the dream and theyre jealous, me included. I want to start my flight training but i dont want to break the bank. I just moved back in with my parents, originally to save up for house but im thinking maybe i should spend it on flight training instead. I mean its the perfect time for me, if i go and buy a house ill never be able to go for my PPL. I can just stay at home for one extra year. Hoping you have a wonderful week! Keep up the good work 👍

Taking my classes at a college knocking out my general education classes first then quitting my job as an aviation combustor welder to go to flight school but this scares me

So glad I moved back in with my parents paying it all cash to avoid loan debt 😂. Best choice ever. But man working a full time job and a part time job while going to a part 61 school is hard at times. Full send the grind 😎

I think one of the biggest differences is, in the past, a CFI wage was livable. For many, making $20/hour pre-tax BILLABLE and working your ass off while having to make a crippling loan payment is excruciating. I don’t even have to make a loan payment, I’m just now passing 1000 hours and for me the light at the end of the tunnel has been the 1500 hours. Without a loan payment I still would barely be able to live on my own and am only surviving because I have reduced rent living with my parents. To get to 1500 hours and realize the light at the end of the tunnel was just an illusion is just a kick in the balls. To suddenly realize you have to work 12 hour days doing steep turns and turns around a point for another 1000 hours while not even being able to afford basic rent is a far stretch from the dream these schools tricked people into crippling debt with their videos of models in a pilot shirt and promises of airline jobs. So no, back in your day the cost of living wasn’t making your life hell and 3000 hours wouldn’t make you hate the thing you first loved. The issue here lies more with the greedy company’s selling a “fast track” for $400/hr of flight time and meanwhile paying their CFIs $20/hr, this is beyond greed it’s evil. This model can only work when you can actually get hired at 1500, the CFI lifestyle is otherwise hellish at best and bankruptcy at worst. For many who fell into this trap, the world is on fire for them and any ideas of advancing their life or having a family is pushed back for years.

I know when I film cockpit videos with my go pro and audio cable. When my go pro gets too hot the first thing that quits is audio recording. And that’s actually a built in spec for go pro… also I fly out of KEUL maybe I’ll see you around!

This seems fun! How long ago did you start your aviation training to get to this point?
