Amelia obtained her private pilot license in February 2010, her instrument rating in a Cirrus SR-20 June of 2013, and is currently working on her commercial rating in a Cessna 182RG at Centennial Airport in Denver, CO.

In January of this year, Amelia flew from Stans, Switzerland, to Denver, CO, crossing the North Atlantic in a Pilatus PC-12 NG, the same plane she will use to circumnavigate the globe.
