“This is especially im- portant for those of us who fly single pilot so that we don’t stay iso- lated and cut off from the information flow. Actually, many of us, if not most of us who are owner pilots, fly single pilot. If you’re a pro pilot or you fly with someone else in the cockpit, you’re always interacting with others, and you’re picking up

I find that at each of these conferences, I meet new people that I want to stay in touch with. It’s somebody else that I can text or call up and ask a question or occasionally end up in the same place and meet up.”
