The FTF (Flight Training Forum) will be available at www.ninety-nines.org for members only.

This site is moderated by six professional pilots and 99 members from the Southwest Section (Reno & Santa Clara Valley Chapters), North Central Section (Chicago Area Chapter), New England Section (Katahdin Wings Chapter), and East (First Canadian Chapter) and West (British Columbia Coast Chapter) Canada Sections.

The Katahdin Wings Chapter is proud to announce that Mary Build, shown above in her favorite flying environment, is one of the moderators on the FTF. By accepting this role as advisor and mentor, Mary continues to show her outstanding commitment to encouraging women to fly, whether it will be as a hobby for fun, or to pursue commercial through ATP ratings.

CONGRATULATIONS MARY!!




MENTORING the Next Generation of Women Professional Pilots

Attention women from all professional pilot career fields, backgrounds, and experience levels: the Professional Pilot Leadership Initiative (PPLI) is for you!

Sponsored by The Ninety-Nines Inc. International Organization of Women Pilots, the PPLI program is designed to accelerate the advancement of women in pilot careers, and highly motivated participants receive one-on-one mentoring, learn new career skills, share what they know with others, and become active participants and leaders in the aviation community.

PPLI Captains, who are “pilot-in-command” of their careers yet in need of guidance, are matched to Navigators, who have progressed sufficiently in their own pilot careers to mentor another. In a structured mentoring format conducted via email and phone, the Navigator assists the Captain as she develops self-selected core skills, which could include defining pilot career options, reducing checkride anxiety, and balancing family and work, with emphasis on developing leadership skills and experience.

PPLI Captain applicants commit to a yearlong leadership development program, while Senior Navigators mentor for one or more half-year sessions. All are 99s (new members welcome!) pursuing any pilot career.

Details are at their web site . For more information on the next mentoring session, contact Michelle Hovey, Coordination Team Leader, mentoring@ninety-nines.org.
