In today's episode of Chicks who Fly, I get to have a conversation with Kristen Blocher where shares her journey over the past few years since our first interview together on this podcast, highlighting her shift from flight instructing into aviation safety as well as the joys and challenges of owning and maintaining her aircraft. We discuss the various career opportunities within aviation safety, emphasizing the diversity of roles beyond traditional flying jobs, such as accident investigation and working with manufacturers. Additionally, we touch on the significance of continuous learning and personal growth within aviation, the value of hands-on experience with aircraft maintenance, and the empowerment that comes from flying.We also discuss that question that I hear all the time of “Am I too old to get started in aviation?” We share information for those considering a career change to aviation, showcasing how it's never too late to start and the vast possibilities within the field.
