Tim started his career in aerospace engineering supporting military and commercial freight carriers. This career provided a way for him to get his airplane fix until he and his wife became small business owners and he no longer had the opportunity to be around airplanes. He decided it was time to get into the cockpit. Since this transition, he regularly flies a Diamond DA40 in pursuit of his PPL. Although he is an older student of aviation, Tim embraces the idea that a good pilot is always learning. So, aren’t we all student pilots essentially?
