She’s already a dedicated member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and Women in Aviation, and a pilot passionate about aviation safety. Spaulding survived a September 2018 nighttime training accident in Alaska in which she became disoriented on a moonless night and lost control of a Cessna 206. Others might have given up flying at this point, but the event motivated Spaulding to seek additional training.
