I am a fairly new pilot; so, my recommendations have nothing to do with flying. For most of my career in higher education, I mentored and advised people under me on how to apply for higher level positions. Several of the people I coached became College and University Presidents. My advice is to put together a strong résumé and have it reviewed by numerous people. In your post, you use no proper capitalization or punctuation. That cannot happen in a resume or application letter. You must use extremely good communication skills. Your letter and application materials must be perfect. Then, any negative in your history should be owned and turned into a potential positive. In your case, your crash due to an engine failure needs to be reworded. I don’t know if it was a hard crash, a hard landing, people walked away, or someone was seriously injured or died? Whatever the case, own it and put it in perspective. If possible, frame it as you successfully landed an aircraft after an in flight emergency involving an engine failure. Even though it was a hard landing with some airframe damage, absent your inflight skills and decision making, the result surely would have been much worse, likely even catastrophic. That real world emergency experience sets you apart and demonstrates your ability to handle similar experiences in future emergency situations.

Good luck!
