On this episode we sit down with Nate Ehlers, United Airlines pilot, Air Force Reserve C-17 veteran, and creator of Backseat Pilot — an innovative platform designed to help flight instructor candidates elevate their training experience.
Nate takes us through his aviation journey to the airlines, and his time flying C-17s in the Air Force Reserve, Along the way, he shares the inspiration behind Backseat Pilot, the challenges of balancing dual aviation careers, and his philosophy on what makes effective flight training.
We’ll also pull back the curtain on his lesson plan discuss the pros and cons of using pre-made resources versus creating your own. It’s an inside look at both the cockpit and the classroom from a pilot who’s lived both worlds.
