EAA 430 Scholarship Student Update

Seth Mulhausen has had a busy semester at Rocky Mountain College in Billings. He’s is a member of the NIFA Flight Team and they competed last fall against Utah State, Colorado Metro, Colorado Northern Community College, Westminster College, and the US Air force Academy, at Logan, Utah. The first evening was aircraft recognition and Seth did well, identifying the older GA airplanes from the US (as well he should having worked at the Port Townsend Aero Museum, home to many old airplanes), not so well identifying old Russian airplanes. In the flying events Seth competed in the navigation and short field landing competitions. Other non-flying competitions included Pre-flight and Simulated Comprehensive Navigation. Seth enjoyed the competition and learned a lot by observing how other teams competed.

Grade wise he is maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.6 and next semester will be taking Aviation Safety, Advanced Aircraft Systems, CFI Ground, 737 Aircraft Systems, and a one credit class in Altitude Chamber training (always fun to watch your fingertips turn blue). In addition he’s continuing as a Flight Team member.

In flight training Seth is about a third of the way through his Commercial Pilot curriculum and his major flight goal for the next semester is to complete the long cross country. He mentioned something about Montana’s winter weather being a challenge. No kidding; it gets seriously cold and nasty there.
