Army Blackhawk Pilot Trains in RTP

Mariah Bennett is an Army Blackhawk Pilot who has been training with her instructor Shawn Pratt, in Safety in Motion Flight Center’s Rotorcraft Transition Program (RTP) and using her Post 9/11 VA benefits.  She has added both airplane single-engine land and instrument ratings to commercial rotor-wing pilot certificate and is now pursuing her Multi-engine Rating.

Part of Mariah‘s multi-engine training is to shut an engine down in flight and secure it. You can see her here smiling, thumbs up, without a care of the world, while the engine in the background is secured at feathered!  Mariah intends to be working at Frontier Airlines this year and we have no doubt that she will be first officer there very soon!
