ABOUT KATHY BROWN

Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot with 1,700+ hours (ATP-eligible, First Class Medical). Experienced in complex airspace and cross-country operations, with a strong foundation in ATC, safety leadership, and CRM. Location flexible and open to opportunities in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and beyond.I’m a commercially rated, multi-engine pilot with over 1,700 total flight hours, including 1,650+ as PIC, 60+ multi-engine, 850+ cross-country, and 125 instrument hours. I hold a first-class medical and meet all flight experience requirements for the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate.My flight experience spans a variety of operations and complex airspace, supported by a disciplined, safety-first mindset and a professional approach to every mission. I bring an additional layer of operational depth from my early career as an air traffic control trainee with the FAA, where I trained at both Jacksonville Center and Raleigh-Durham Tower and was certified on multiple positions. That experience, combined with 4.0 academic performance in both the ATC CTI program and a master’s in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle, deeply informs my cockpit awareness and communication.Over the last 15 years, I’ve served in high-stakes safety leadership roles—including 6.5 years as a Regional Safety Manager for ground handling at a Part 121 carrier—followed by advancing roles in large-scale logistics, manufacturing, and federal environments. I hold the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) designation and bring deep operational insight into systems-based risk management and proactive safety culture.Beyond technical skills, I bring a deep joy for life, genuine love for people, and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing. I thrive in collaborative environments, communicate with clarity and care, and take pride in contributing to a positive team culture. I’m passionate about continuous growth, operational excellence, and building meaningful connections across the aviation community.
