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. Well done on working through the challenges and passing your checkride on the first attempt!
