New Private Pilot – Kaustubha Suresh Raut

Jul 29 2019

Date: July 22, 2019
Certification: Private Pilot
Instructor: Jason Brown
Aircraft: Citabria N11681

“As a teenager I wanted to pursue a career in Aviation but things weren’t conducive for that back then in India. After moving to Bay Area 3 years ago, I decided to chase my childhood dream of flying and started training at Aerodynamic Aviation. Tailwheels were the obvious choice for me since very few schools actually offer training in them and I did not want to miss that opportunity. Balancing training and a full time job wasn’t easy but I was in good hands of CFI Jason Brown. I look forward to exploring California and many more places by air with friends and family.” ~Kaustubha Suresh Raut

Congrats on a first-time pass!!! You and Jason knocked it out of the park, complete with an awesome photo after the checkride 😉

Aircraft: Cessna 172 – N54102
Instructors: Travis Mills
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)

First Solo Flight – Henry Jessel

Apr 12 2019

Solo Date: March 24, 2019
Aircraft: Cessna 172 – N54102
Instructors: Christian Burton
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)

Henry has sought to fly ever since he could first point to the Southwest 737s on approach to San Jose. For many years, he would only fly on flight simulators and take any opportunity to visit the airport to watch the commercial jets land at San Francisco. Every time he would fly, he would look up to the captains with reverence for their awe-inspiring jobs. He is excited to proceed with his career in aviation, and pursue at job at the commercial airlines.

Solo Date: February 28, 2019
Aircraft: Citabria 7KCAB – N11681
Instructors: Jason Brown & Jen Watson
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)

You rock, Heather! After taking a few months off due to a broken wrist, Heather came back with a vengeance to tame the taildragger. Boy, did she! After nailing all her landings, Heather’s instructor signed off her solo endorsement and stood by the runway to proudly watch as Heather completed her 3 solo full-stop landings in the pattern at Reid-Hillview Airport. You’ll never forget the feeling, realizing it’s all on your skill to safely land an airplane, of your first solo flight. Well done on a hard-earned solo!
