Connecting the Dots (“CTD”): A Video Series by Flight Pro International

 

(June 2026)

In October of 2025, Flight Pro International’s in-house Compliance and Regulatory team launched an educational video series titled “Connecting the Dots” (CTD), which has quickly become an anticipated resource featured in FPI’s monthly “Connections” newsletters.

Each edition ranges between 10-15 minutes in length in order to be easy-to-watch videos for busy aviation professionals needing to glean the information on the go.

To date, new CTD editions have been published approximately every two months. As our regular “Connections” newsletters are chock full of extensive operational information, FPI wanted to take a moment to bring CTD to the forefront, to re-highlight CTD’s purpose, and to recap the editions produced to date.

“While we have a plethora of upcoming topics, we’re eager to address any issues of special interest to our clients,” continues Jeffrey Basham, Sr. Manager of Compliance. “So please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly to request a particular topic.”
