Katie Cowley: Adventures of a new Commercial Pilot

from Flying BC - Pilot Stories and Aviation Adventures · host Flying BC

"So I sat down in the roughest water I think I've ever landed in, and it's not that big of a plane so it was pretty big waves for those little floats. And I landed so far from the camp because I just wanted to be down on the water sooner than later." On this episode of Flying BC, I chat with my friend Katie Cowley about her first couple years as a new commercial pilot. For the past year, she’s been flying on floats and wheels out of Sioux Lookout in Northern Ontario, living the bush pilot life. I caught up with her just as she was coming up to the 1000 hour milestone, and we talked about her adventures – and misadventures – on her path through flight training, some of the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what it’s really like being a newly-minted commercial pilot trying to gain experience and find jobs. It’s not always easy!  You can find Katie on Instagram @katie.cowley --- Please send feedback, show ideas, and your questions to [email protected] Join me on Instagram @flyingbritishcolumbia or on Facebook.
