PILATUS OWNERS AND PILOTS ASSOCIATION
In 2018, POPA reached out to Kristy to design a program that would allow owners and operators to find Pilatus PC-12 & PC-24 qualified pilots around the globe. She was POPA's preferred candidate due to her experience managing, flying, and teaching in Pilatus Aircraft. Kristy created this program from scratch and in 2019 the POPA Mentor Pilot Program (MPP) was launched and continues to be operate for the benefit of Pilatus owners and operators.
