In this 13th episode of the Chicks Who Fly Podcast, I have a chat with pilot, hair stylist, salon owner and host of the Cockpits and Cocktails podcast,  Allyssa VanMeter, a.k.a. Fly Allyssa.Allyssa was bit by the aviation bug when she took a helicopter tour of Hawaii during a vacation there.  Alyssa is currently using her COVID-19 quarantine time to study for her instrument rating. In our conversation, we address the challenges of flight training, the extraordinary pride she felt when she passed her check ride, the surprising perspective that aviation gives her in flight and in life, personal minimums, time management, the wonderful aviation community, finding opportunities in unexpected setbacks and the importance of priorities.  Allyssa also shares some of her aviation story and anecdotes, including that one time she stayed overnight in the FBO.This is a fun conversation with an awesome lady and pilot!

Pilot, Hair Stylist, Salon Owner and Host of the Cockpits and Cocktails Podcast,  Allyssa VanMeter

Allyssa is a successful salon owner. She was initially not interested in fixed-wing flying - she wanted to fly helicopters. A family friend invited her to go along with him in his Cessna 150, so she went along. What started out as a few trips around the pattern on a Friday turned into a three-hour flight, and Allyssa signed up for flying lessons the next Monday!   She scheduled three lessons a week, and received her Private certificate in about six months. Six months ago she purchased half ownership in a Piper Cherokee 160, which she keeps in a T-hangar. She discovered that there are occasional maintenance issues involved in owning an airplane, so there may be occasional times when she wanted to fly and a maintenance issue prevented flying.   Allyssa flew her plane to Oshkosh with only 85 hours, and read all 30 pages of NOTAMS before takeoff! Once there, s he slept under the wing, the way REAL pilots do it!
