New ATP License – Jen Delp-Mallet

Apr 16 2016

Date: April 14, 2016
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
Certification: Airline Transport Pilot, Multi-Engine

Our Chief Instructor, Jen, recently earned her Multi-Engine ATP license in our Twin Comanche with DPE Yuzo Wakita. Jen gives a big thank you to everyone who cheered her on, especially her mentor and former owner of AeroDynamic Aviation, Zdravko Podolski. Under Zdravko’s tutelage, this former airline pilot has completed her tailwheel, CFII, MEI, and now ATP.

This summer Jen plans on competing at aerobatic competitions and earning IAC Judge status. Her Decathlon, N2804Z is a gorgeous red, 150-hp Decathlon that will be coming online in San Jose soon.

“Zdravko taught me how to really fly an airplane and to learn something new each day.” ~ Jen

New Airline Transport Pilot – Tuomas Kettunen

Apr 04 2016

Date: March 30, 2016
Location: Monterey, CA (KMRY)
Certification: Single-Engine ATP

AeroDynamic Instructor and Surf Air pilot, Tuomas, earned his single-engine Airline Transport License (ATP) in a Cessna 172! Tuomas is originally from Finland and will be moving to San Diego soon. We are excited to see his accomplishments and sad to lose such an amazing instructor. Thanks for sharing you expertise with so many students. We wish you all the best!

ATC Communications

Feb 23 2016

AeroDynamic Aviation gives a big thank you to our CFI Jason Brown for organizing an event designed to keep up communications between our busy Reid-Hillview air traffic controllers and the students, pilots and instructors they work with daily. Last Saturday and Sunday Jason, Jen, Josh, Batelle and Geoff (AeroDynamic pilots) took more than 10 local controllers up for flights around Southeast San Jose.

While the controllers learned to pilot the aircraft (J3 Cub, Champ, Citabria and SportStar) and work the radios from the other side of the glass, their instructors showed them some of the well-known VFR checkpoints and how difficult it can be to spot other aircraft, especially when “number 5” in the pattern with dual runways. We are very appreciative of all they do to handle the high volume at our busy airport! Thanks for being part of our family for a day and seeing how the other side works 🙂

Our Amazing Staff at Reid-Hillview Celebrates the Holidays

: The entire family, including supportive significant others

Thanks to all the incredible people who devote their time to making new pilots and passing on their love of aviation to future generations. AeroDynamic Aviation would not be the amazing place it is without this hard-working group of staff and instructors, our aviation family. Special thanks also goes to those significant others who support them.

Happy Holidays from all of us to you and yours!

Four in 24!
