Sir your video skills are beyond amazing. Your talent will lead you to higher places within aviation. Keep up the good work and congrats on earning a well deserved ME rating.

Best wishes to you and yours. Continue to "TREK 2 GREATNESS"

[@Trek2Greatness]

Mark Hill Hey Mark. Haha! Thanks so much...I look up to those guys for showing me that aviation films/videos was even a celebrated thing on KZbin. I will try my best to keep the good stuff coming from my camp. Who knows...maybe one day I will be able to collab with some of these folks!

[@jeffreyrider7493]

Your editing skills are incredible. You’re truly gifted. Congrats😄

[@Trek2Greatness]

Rider Aviation Hey, thanks! I appreciate that. Editing on this one was particularly tricky. I will try to keep the good stuff coming...you do the same, Rider! 😀

[@CarlenaProphet]

Wow! That was so awesome!!👏🏾 ..I really believe even people who aren’t looking to become pilots will take away some great nuggets from this video! Thank you for sharing with us! All the best in your journey!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thank you, Carlena! Your words of encouragement are much appreciated! Thanks again for your continued support!

I just watched a second video on your channel. This quality is first class! I am getting ready to "trek 2 greatness" - no pun intended. This has always being a dream and now I am able to do it. I stumbled upon your channel and I am impressed with the two videos I viewed thus far. You are sincere, committed and driven. All qualities that will blossom into success. A family man and a man of faith too, awesome. I am now a subscriber, so keep putting out these excellent content! P.S. Your editing and graphics along with content made me watched your videos in its entirety. Well done Sir!

[@rdo0409]

Mad props. Ive seen a lot of guys talking about their experience at ATP but yours is unique in that you're coming from a well-established career and supportive family. It's invaluable for a lot of guys looking at your saved career path. I would love to pick your brain via PM. Thanks for your videos

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks so much, Ron O. That kind of feedback keeps me going with the vids. Send me a message at [e-mail]

[@yevheniimelnyk8911]

Wow, great job. Thank You For Sharing all your experience

[@Therealdougkarl]

Congrats on your Multi! That’s a huge accomplishment. It’s a great feeling once you have it. Instruments will be a lot of fun, and challenging, keep up all the great work. Before you know it you will be getting your ATP!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Doug Karl Thanks so much! I appreciate that awesome feedback, man! I look forward to getting this instrument rating under my belt, but what you said is a great reminder to always enjoy the process.

[@TroyBanks]

Good stuff Capt. I am ready to be your Sky Chef

[@Trek2Greatness]

Troy Banks thanks Chef! Sounds great! I appreciate ya!

[@JuanDiaz-nb7hc]

I love your channel bro. You are beyond amazing!! But what you should put up is your habits! Your morning routines that motivate you DAILY. I loved your vision board and would love to see it some day!

[@klmelj]

Great video! Good luck on the rest of your journey.

[@Dutchbird757]

Awesome job! Love the editing skills too!

[@KylesKinetics]

Your passion and camera work/editing deserves far more subscribers than you currently have.. plus, a lot of what you say isn’t just relevant to aviation.. it’s life in general. Beautifully made video, passionately spoken and overall entertaining!

[@Trek2Greatness]

I appreciate that so much. I’m always glad to know the videos I make are reaching an audience. I will continue to grow the channel with time. Keep soaring in all you do as well! Cheers!

[@KylesKinetics]

Trek 2 Greatness of course! Keep making these great videos! It’s helped me know what to expect in my coming training! My first day at ATP is March 19th!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Hello Kyle! Thanks again! How goes the flight training! I hope you are enjoying every moment of it!

[@KylesKinetics]

Trek 2 Greatness it’s been a lot of fun! First two days I was pretty overwhelmed but now it’s just fun! I’m on my 4th week and have already learned a ton. First night flight is coming up and I’m really looking forward to it

[@BlueSideUp77]

How did your first night flight go, Kyles?

[@peterv1806]

Very inspirational - thank you. You're a wonderful man!

[@youthfulambitionya]

[@renedelgado115]

Top notch video editing man, honestly. How is your journey going now? I would love to hear about where you are now and your updated thoughts on your decision to make this sacrifice, how ATP has worked out, ect. Good luck!

[@elitemossy7990]

Took my intro flight today in a Seminole! It was very exciting. Can’t wait to start!!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Nice! I did my intro flight in the Archer. The Seminole would have probably been even more exhilarating!! I hope all is going well with your program, if you have started now. Cheers!

[@TomasRozar]

Great job! Keep it up and make your family proud.

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thank you, Tomas!!

[@ivk7201]

Awesome accomplishments Sir! I am waiting for my start date at the end of Aug... getting chills once I think about it but I think that's a "healthy fear" to experience when going for something big like becoming a professional pilot! Blessings!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Heck yeah! Thats awesome! And thanks for the encouragement! It sounds like your start date is here/near! Awesome! Yeah, enjoy those chills! They go away a little, but the joy of it all stays the whole time! Blessings!

[@BlueSideUp77]

How is it going for you, Ivan?

[@user32455]

Beautifully produced video! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thank you!

[@alvaro1810]

Subscribing to your channel asap. Your videos make me feel better and give me even more confidence to follow the same path that you are pursuing. I'm 40 yo and currently half way on my Ppl. Looking fwd to see more of your videos.

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks Alvaro! Thats what I am here for! More vids to come. Best wishes, and I hope to see things go well for you.

[@khizarshabbir640]

[@Trek2Greatness]

Khizar Shabbir Thanks! I am glad that you found agreement with your own experiences. I look forward to sharing the skies with you as well. Thank you!

[@liveextreme6752]

1st comment....Keep up the AWESOME work..YOU CAN DO IT!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Lalo L Thanks so much! Thanks for getting the ball rolling with that first comment. I will be sure to keep the content coming.

[@liveextreme6752]

Trek 2 Greatness no prob man..i plan i going soon. Gotta finish up where i left off. I ended up going into the U.S. Marines than becoming a Cop. I talk to Aviator Chavez often. Small world. Huh. You are doing AWESOME

[@benakay]

Highly impressive and congrats on your quest to becoming an ATP. Curious as to why you did your ME rating before your instrument rating? Is that the normal process? I was under the impression that you had to go PPL - IR - MER - CFI then Commercial. Kindly advise

[@Trek2Greatness]

Hello. Thanks for the great feedback!! I will attempt to answer your question this way: ATP Flight School had a 100hr Multi-Engine program that went PPL-PME-IR-CME-CSE-CFI. This allowed students to spend more time in the multi-engine while on the crew phase of the program before moving on to getting commercial ratings and CFI. Commercial still comes before CFI in the new 50hr program. I hope this helps.

[@AllThingsAviation]

such a high quality amazing video well put together!! keep up the great work and continue to fight for your dreams! please when you have time post up more :)

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks so much! I have had a couple weather delays with getting to the next phase of my program, but I’m feeling confident and ready for what is to come. I appreciate your comments and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

[@robeldemissie6280]

Good job hope to see you in the airlines someday. Let me know if you need any advice will be glad to help.

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks! Awesome! I appreciate that and look forward to joining you in the airlines. I may have to take you up on that offer for help. I would love to interview someone with the airlines.

[@nuneze23]

Superb work brother! Really looking forward to watching your progression. Maybe one day we’ll fly together at the airlines. :-)

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks man! I will continue to keep the content coming. Thank you for watching, JJ !! I look forward to the day that it is our turn to serve as pilots for the airlines!

[@loganjones794]

Great video, man. How did you pay for your schooling? Did you go for the loans available from ATP through Wells Fargo or Sallie Mae? I’m married with a kid on the way, so your videos really resonate with me. I need to be able to provide financially. Does your wife pay the bills mostly now? Or did you build some living expenses into the loans you got (if you did get loans)?

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thank you, Logan! I was fortunate that my wife and I were able to make some serious sacrifices and move closer to the airport where my flight school is located. We simplified our lifestyle to live only on her income. Sallie Mae was the loan that worked best for us. For childcare, my folks live near by and are very helpful and supportive in watching our son. I believe that with a good game plan, others who are married with kids could make it through this program. I certainly won’t be the first to do so. Thanks for following along in my journey. Cheers!

[@MitchGrooms]

great job

[@Trek2Greatness]

Mitch Grooms Thanks Mitch!

[@catalystproductions3571]

Enjoying your videos! Would love to hear how you and your family are managing the training with regards to you not being able to bring an income, and having those 2 precious kids (how old are they?)

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thank you, CP! We made a lot of changes, but nothing drastic and we still live comfortably, holding on to the promise of a fruitful career for years to come. I plan on making a video soon about this very subject. Kiddos are currently 2 and 5. Thanks for following along with my journey, friend. Peace!

[@tomasnunez8518]

Amazing video. Though money is tight rite now, even if I were to remove money from the equation, ATP sounds very intimidating by the way. I'm a private pilot non current right now fyi. Congrats sir, much respect!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks Tomas! Yes, there are certain aspects that are intimidating about ATP. Its all do-able, though. I bet once you get current you will feel like you can conquer the world! :-) Best wishes!

[@klanmovement]

Great videos ! Just some advice request I’m on my 7 hour for ppl and recommendations on Remeber things much easier as manuevers or briefs chair flying keep up the good work subscriber now

[@Trek2Greatness]

Thanks Miguel! My advice is just repetition. Do it over and over again until it feels second nature. Maybe demonstrate the maneuver for a friend or family member. Record yourself on your phone's voice memo or other audio recorder talking through the maneuvers and then play it back for yourself in the car while you drive to your destination. I hope this helps. Thanks for subscribing!

[@klanmovement]

Trek 2 Greatness thanks for the advice and yes I am chair flying a lot to Remeber the procedure for each manuevers and how is ATP I’m at a flight school now but I apply for ATP and I’m approved to go but not sure how successful is the program I see most plp on KZbin successful there would you recommend it any cons

[@jasonchislom4614]

Awesome Job Bro! I am Training also and you just gave me a tremendous boost with this video. I totally respect that you seem to keep God first in your life and im sure that's what will bring you great Success! I'm striving to do the same! May God continue to bless your endevours! Looking forward to more content!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Hey there Jason! Thanks so much for the support and encouragement, bro! Yes indeed...God is so good and I am really glad that I took the leap of faith to leave my job and start down the pathway of becoming a pilot. More content coming soon! Best wishes in all you do. God bless!!

[@champ40791]

Do you have another youtube channel? I only see 4 videos on your station..thanks for the great info though! Ill be starting at lzu spring 2019, cant wait

[@Trek2Greatness]

This is my only channel. Thanks for the feedback. I hope you had a chance to check out my latest video posted today.

[@plasmasword10]

I hear it’s better to get your multi after getting your commercial because then you have to take commercial SE then commercial ME checkrides

[@Trek2Greatness]

Each path has its own unique advantages. The 100hr multi-engine program at ATP had you get your private multi before the commercial phase (what I did) so that you can build additional time in the multi-engine (which airlines like their applicants to have more of). ATP Flight School is phasing this out in favor of the way you are talking about in order to streamline the program a bit more.

[@plasmasword10]

Trek 2 Greatness I’m going to ATP Charlotte in August I can’t wait!

[@Trek2Greatness]

Nice! Make good friends with Joe Gibbs Racing! J/K I have good memories going to that location on crew. Enjoy!

[@patcism]

Love the style of these videos man! Looking forward to starting my program next week here in Southern California. Which cameras are you using?

[@Trek2Greatness]

Hey, thanks Patrick! Glad you are enjoying the vids! I use the Sony a6000 and sometimes use my iPhone on a DJI Osmo Mobile stabilizer. Best wishes out there in SoCal. I hear it is a beautiful place to fly! Enjoy!

[@darqunhudson9419]

Hey. Im looking to get into ATP and also record my progress in the program. I was wondering if there was anyway I could personally speak to you

[@Trek2Greatness]

Hey. Sure thing. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we can go from there.

[@jaysonmandengue9192]

Hey bruh sup hope you fine. I got some little doubt and wanted to share with you to get your advice out of it. I have always dream to study aviation but unfortunately there was no aviation school in my country so I have to do something else in the university that is civil engineering. But to be sincere I want to divert to what i have always love to do. Do I have a possibility ?

[@ronaldcampbell17]

I think we’d be friends
