Episode 8 Chicks Who Fly- Erin Olivier/Jenna Samuelian
In this 8th episode of Chicks Who Fly we tried something different. I had arranged to interview Erin Olivier, and on the day our call was scheduled, she happened to be spending time with another female pilot friend so, in this episode, I get to have a conversation with TWO pilots. Private Pilot Erin Olivier, who was still working on her instrument rating at the time we recorded the episode but she has since passed her instrument rating check ride! Congratulations Erin!! Erin also has her AGI and A&P (stands for Airframe and Powerplant and is the certification required for an aircraft mechanic) as well as being an instrument-rated Private Pilot. The second pilot in today’s conversation is Jenna Samuelian who is a Private Pilot is working on a Bachelor’s Degree in Aviation Management.
In this fun and all-over-the-place conversation, we get to talk about the ups and downs of flight training, options and approaches one can take in flight training and on the aviation career path. We talk about aviation business, favorite aviation shows and career paths, flying for animal rescue missions, why we prefer women flight instructors, apps that can help student pilots study, fun flights with loved ones, flying competitions, the benefits of getting a job at a local airport, the confidence that comes from learning to fly an airplane and so much more!
