Per Arda Ad Astra
HI everybody,
Very glad that I found this forum, some nice things on it and this thread especially. Here is my journey through this.
Grew up at the local sport aviation center (true airport junkie)
Started skydiving and flying gliders when I turned 16,
Graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with the degree in Aircraft Engineering Technology,
Attended senior level flight testing course at ERAU, tought by Pat Anderson
1000 Jumps in between, at least 200 not logged hours in various airplanes, and 4 flight tests with everyday assignments here I am.
Have interviews lined up with several companies and definitely going in as FTE (but I also love the role of design and performance engineer as well)
Oh by the way, I was told that I am not very suitable for FTE since I don't mind leaving the airplane at all, give me 1000 Ft and I'm gone if I hear something strange or feel something that doesn't seem right.
What can I say, blue skies
