Private Pilot Checkride: January 21, 2023 Instructor: Tyler Peck Aircraft: Cessna N9027H School Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV) Another pilot earns his wings! A big “waaahoooo” to Stephen and CFI Tyler on a job well done. We hope Stephen enjoys his first set of wings and exploring the countryside from the air. That $300 hamburger tastes so good when you didn’t need an endorsement to fly there!

This program targets new CFIs in an effort to rapidly improve professionalism and thereby increase aviation safety everywhere. Active aviation educators are the “primary influencers” in all parts of aviation, potentially touching 30-50 pilots a week in their CFI position.

Private Pilot Checkride: January 22, 2023 Instructor: Bradley Collins Aircraft: Cessna N54102 School Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV) We love making pilots. It feeds our flight school soul. We are delighted to introduce our newest pilot success story – Anand! He and CFI Bradley worked incredibly hard to make this checkride happen, especially getting all the requirements done with the weeks of stormy weather cancelling many of his planned solo cross-country flights.
