Epic Hosts Pilot Career Seminars

Epic recently hosted a Pilot Career Seminar with Piedmont Airlines and has several more seminars planned with PSA Airlines on June 6th, Trans States Airlines on June 27th, and ExpressJet Airlines on July 18th. We regularly host Pilot Career Seminars so our students and CFIs can learn about career opportunities. See all events online.

We invite you to join our Epic Flight Academy online PILOT FORUM to discuss pilot topics, ask questions, and get to know each other. The forum is a great place to start your pilot career!

STUDENT & STAFF APPRECIATION

Staff and students enjoyed a cookout during Student & Staff Appreciation Day in May. Admissions recruiter Rich Trujillo (left) and Taylor Rawlins (right) from the Maintenance Department did a great job on the grill!

Coming up on June 20th we will be serving everyone’s favorite – Publix fried chicken! Join us for another tasty Student & Staff Appreciation Day!

EPIC EMPLOYEE NEWS

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to new CFI Eric Amborn (pictured) from Minnesota. Also joining the Epic family is CFII Matt Shropshire who was born in South Korea but has lived all over the world. We also wish the very best to Epic Flight Instructor Luis Calderon who trained and taught at Epic as he moves on to a new position flying a Cessna Caravan for a skydiving organization in New Jersey!

Captain Judy’s Corner –

Density Altitude: Airplanes don’t feel. Or, do they?

“The cockpit felt like a sauna in the Arizona heat. Not only was I enduring the summer heat, but so was the airplane. How might an airplane suffer from heat? After all, airplanes don’t feel? Or do they?”

Read the latest article by Captain Judy Rice, Epic Flight Academy Ground School Instructor. She addresses one of the most important concepts in flight training: Density Altitude.
