New Commercial Pilot – Erin Lai
Jun 25 2022Commercial Pilot Checkride: May 15, 2022
Instructor: Thao Do
Aircraft: Cessna N968RC
School Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
“Training for my commercial license was the most memorable training I’ve had so far. I got my private and instrument back home in SoCal, but moving up here and flying in new airspace was definitely a beneficial experience for me as I was able to learn so much more and gain insight on what aviation really is. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the endless support I received from my family, friends, and of course the best CFI Thao! She has taught me so much and prepared me very well for my checkride. I’m looking forward to pursuing my next rating!” ~ Erin

Happy birthday, Sergey!
“I got my first PPL Scotland and flew in the US with AeroDynamic on that license. Eventually I found the taildragger challenge to be great fun and got my US PPL in a Citabria, then added glider rating as a safer alternative to hang gliding.
Light sport planes have always appealed to me as the most fun to fly, so I got a CFI-Sport license, and I’ve introduced quite a few people to flying over the last 3 years.
Last year I decided to go for the full CFI, completing the Instrument rating in April and now Commercial Pilot license. Thanks to Dick Chang, Thao Do and Evgenii Sikachev for teaching me. CFI is next!” ~ Sergey

We are so proud of you rocking out the Commercial checkride with a first-time pass! CFI next so you can teach with us?? 😉
“I’ve been flying for 2 years now and continue to love it. Privatepilot license opened the door, and Instrument training expanded my horizons, while making me a better pilot. At that point, I was well on my way to fulfilling my Commercial rating requirements and wanted to keep on getting better. I’m now flying my family around and being safer, smoother, more consistent is always on my mind. Thanks to
Thao’s instruction, great preparation, and persistence, I’ve now passed that challenge as well! I’d recommend a Commercial Rating for the precision landings and to become more consistent with the core maneuvers. The staff at AeroDynamic is awesome, and I couldn’t have done it without insights from Brian on landings, or the support from Matt, Edgar, Rebecca, and, of course, Josh (who I bother way too much).” ~ Lukasz

“After getting my instrument rating last year, I thought it’s time for my next challenge without foggles / hood. Thanks, Thao and Dick, for teaching me all the maneuvers and skills to be a commercial pilot. I’m looking forward to my next aviation adventures and fortunately, there are a lot of options at AeroDynamic to keep adding new skills like high performance, multi-engine or CFI.” ~ Stefan
