Pre-Flight
Seems that so many professional pilots "cut their teeth" flying cancelled checks early in their career. Nightime, bad weather, all the stuff that gives great experience with an ability to built lots of time.
With most EVERYTHING being done online now, is there a modern day equivalent of the proverbial "cancelled check flight?" Besides instructing (ugh....), how are new pilots going to say they built REALLY GOOD experience in the future? Dropzones are a fair weather job, instructing is mostly done with basic students, and I don't know if pipeline patrol is even a thing anymore.
What say you? How are people building experience besides just time?
