Over the years, Simple Flying has featured numerous compelling stories involving pilots around the world. Although we’ve long highlighted triumphs in the cockpit, we’re now inviting pilots to share their stories directly with our readers.
To celebrate the skill and courage of pilots, we are launching a new interview series, inviting captains and first officers to speak about their experiences in the industry. Our audience would love to hear about what it takes to reach the flight deck and learn more about what goes on behind the cockpit door.
We are calling on pilots of all aircraft types to participate in this exciting initiative. Whether you have commanded widebodies, narrowbodies, turboprops, or freighters, your journey needs to be shared. After all, your expertise will help others understand what it is like behind the controls and what it takes to lead a crew.
From dealing with challenging weather to handling unexpected diversions, we want to hear what it’s like from a pilot’s perspective. Your story can inspire and educate aviation enthusiasts and aspiring pilots across the globe.
If you would like to take part in this series, contact us here!
