1. (Feb 18, 2025) Stayed the night before in the hotel right across from the flight training center. It was snowing and the sidewalks were full of snow so it was impossible to walk on the sidewalk, so I took an uber to the FTC and they will drop you off on the car entrance were you have to walk a bit to the B building. Once in the B building you tell the security guard that you’re in for the aviate interview and say your name. They will make you fill an iPad application and take your picture for the...

2. (Nov 05, 2024) My experience was just as everyone else stated. After the online portion I was invited to interview in Denver. They paid for my flight out (I paid for the hotel as I opted to arrive a day early).

Spatial orientation is everything.

Being able to adapt to challenges and change. Especially in private when you are constantly learning new ways to perform a maneuver or learning maneuvers in general. However through hard work and constant practicing, I am almost always able to turn that challenge into a strength.

A stabilized approach is characterized by a constant angle, constant rate-of-descent approach profile ending near the touchdown point
A pilot is flying a stabilized approach when he or she establishes and maintains a constant angle glidepath towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It’s in your United packet!
Not Later than 1500’ AGL or FAF whatever occurs later: 1.) Landing Gear is down 2.) Speed is no more than 180KIAS Not later than 1000’ AGL 1.) Landing Configuration 2.) Landing Checklist Complete 3.) Airspeed 15/-5 Knots of Planned 4.) On Lateral Profile 5.) On Vertical Profile, which includes a.) Sustained Vertical Speed of no more than 1200fpm b.) Bracketing Maneuvers which do not exceed /-300fpm c.) Descent Rate /- 1 Degree of Planned d.) Within VNAV Vertical Limits At 500’ AGL the pilot flying will announce “Stable” or “Unstable, going around” Below 500’ AGL, except for momentary airspeed and descent rate deviations if any of the above parameters are not met, the pilot monitoring will direct a go-around by announcing “Go-around” followed by the out of tolerance parameter. e.x. (flaps, airspeed)

The CG can move either forward or aft, depending on the location of the fuel tanks in the aircraft and their relationship to the 'normal' CG of the aircraft. In most aircraft, the CG will move forward as fuel burns.
