Risk Management, in Aviation and Cyber Security
I have been an IT and security professional for almost my entire adult life. I started off my career as a network engineer and fell into being a security engineer fairly quickly. It started by adding a firewall certification, then I added intrusion detection and prevention. The areas of security continued to grow; adding forensics investigations, eDiscovery, project consulting, and so much more. In the project consulting, we focused on ensuring the risk level of a project was within acceptable levels for the organization. I have been the top of the cyber security organization in my last three roles; but I've wanted to be a pilot for as long as I can remember.
In 2018, I became a certificated pilot and in 2019 an advanced and instrument ground school instructor. I recently finished teaching a formal ground school class to about 15 students of differing skill levels, ages, and goals for their piloting careers.
Traffic, Traffic, Traffic - Half Moon Bay tour via San Jose
Decided to take a flight in the Centurion around Half Moon Bay directly over the top of San Jose.
For this video, I'm trying some new editing techniques such as quick cuts and motion tracking call outs. Would love to hear your feedback.
Quick flight from Tracy (TCY) to Columbia (O22)
Decided to take the airplane for a quick flight over to Columbia California The K-Factor setting on the MVP-50 is better but still not right. #Cessna #Centurion #T210 #KTCY #O22
WHOA! Fuel Flow is really low. Flying in the evening and at night.
In this video, I take an evening flight around the valley and realize I had the engine management system automatically reconfigure itself based on fuel load, which changed the K-Factor causing the flow to read really low.
The K-factor is a constant, referring to the number of measurable pulses required for a given volume of fuel to pass through the point where flow is being measured.
I discuss flying in the evening and at night
Nine-Thousand climbing Two-Thousand? Instrument currency Modesto
A follow up to last week's video where I complete the ILS 29R into Modesto. Some mistakes were made, but I learned some things.
I Wonder if I screwed that up? - IFR approach - Part 1 - VOR Alpha - Oakdale (O27)
I do some IFR approaches today with some low cloud cover and fog.
The cameras didn't last for all 4, but I captured the first 2. Here is a VOR-A into Oakdale (O27). The airport went VMC while I was on my way there.
