Commercial Pilot!

Happy New Year to all! Jeff began this year as a commercial pilot, a requirement for all mission pilots, and a two year endeavor for Jeff. Once the required flight hours were achieved and knowledge test passed, Jeff was able to schedule the Commercial check-ride with the Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). Pictured with Jeff is the DPE, Bob Harless, a true legend to Georgia Aviation!

Next stop, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). Jeff elected to conduct his CFI training at American Flyers Flight Academy in Atanta Georgia, Dekalb-Peachtree Airport. While there he completed the two written knowledge exams and many lesson plans required before meeting with the FAA. Now he will spend his time preparing for the most dreaded of all oral and flight tests - the CFI checkride! We are hoping to schedule the exam with the FAA for later this week. I'll keep you posted!
