Hear how he survived a total engine failure over desolate terrain in pitch dark conditions, and what he learned from this experience.

Inline image 5* The First Canadian Chapter 99s has several new members over the past year…as a newer member are you aware of this unique program which we offer?

If you are a 99s member with at least a commercial certificate (and be actively flying) pursuing a professional pilot career, or you are an established professional who wants to take your career to the next level, this program is designed for you.

Professional Pilot Leadership Initiative (PPLI) aims to accelerate the advancement of women in all pilot professions, facilitate dynamic mentoring, and enhance our leadership role in the aviation community. The program provides highly motivated 99s with the tools to develop their careers and leadership abilities. Through guided activities and formal mentoring partnerships, it strengthens and expands the network of women pilots.

This highly-structured, formal leadership and mentoring program is unique. The mentor and mentee will communicate on a weekly basis to discuss the mentoring prompts and guided activities. Participants must commit to meeting the program expectations for the entire duration of the 18-24 month program.
