I am an aviation professional who has just begun training as a student pilot. I've been wanting to become a pilot all my life and have recently started in a Cessna 172R. I hope to learn a lot from the active pilots on this forum and possibly in the future fly professionally.

introducing myself
Name is Craig.
About to retire from the military after 23.5 years.
My 1st four years I was an H-46 crewchief in the Navy.
The rest of my career was in the Army as an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Maintenance Test Pilot (over 2,000 Helicopter hours-Commercial Instrument-Rotorcraft). Since 2005 I've been flying the C-12, RC-12, & Beech 1900 as an Instructor and Maintenance Test Pilot (over 2500 hours-ATP MultiEngine. BE300, BE190).

I have been studying for a PPL w/out an instructor for a couple of years now off and on. For material I am using the Kings's School's Cleared For Takeoff online course. I am now planning on attending ATP's 150 day Fast Track program. I am here for any input, advice, and opinion's dealing with the wonderful world of aviation.

Like Dick Karl (Flying Magazine's flying surgeon), I'm in medicine; unlike Dick Karl, I never got a license---but I love planes and get to use them a fair bit as a passenger---even, the past few years, as a lucky fractional passenger/owner---along with other charters here and there.
I deeply value what Airline Pilot Forums adds to my review of ARGUS/Wyvern data---and in more than one case, I've been greatly helped in my decision process by the professional and meaningful discussions I find here.
