Kristi McFadden - Corporate jet pilot who turned a fear of flying into a new career

In this second episode of 2021 and of Season 2 of Chicks Who Fly, I get to welcome back, Santa Fe based CFI, CFII &amp; MEI (and MY flight instructor), Kristi McFadden. In this episode, Kristi and I discuss common student pilot and new pilot challenges and how to approach and overcome them, how to master landings, we discuss the IM SAFE checklist, making go/no-go decisions and how to handle those common issues that students face. We speak a lot about the specific obstacles and challenges that I faced during my quest to get to my first solo and to my Private Pilot Certificate. We also the discuss the problems of flying during a pandemic, the cool experimental aircraft that I saw at our marina and more. Since this conversation was recorded, I have completed my Private Pilot Certificate and I am currently working on my online instrument ground school, with the goal of following up an instrument rating with a Commercial Certificate and a Seaplane Rating. It was a true pleasure to get to interview Kristi now that we have met and spent a significant amount of time flying together. It is my sincere wish that the wealth of knowledge and insight that Kristi shares, help anyone who is in flight training or thinking about starting flight training.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/inaia/support
