New Instrument Rating – Mike Fritsche
Jun 12 2020Date: April 14, 2020
Certification: Instrument Rating
Instructor: Nathaniel Thorpe
Aircraft: Cessna N53456
In mid February Mike Fritsche started training for his instrument rating with Aerodynamic Aviation in Monterey, California. He completed most of his training with CFII Nathaniel Thorpe, with some help from CFI Stephanie Procive. Mike works as a Deputy Sheriff for Monterey County Sheriff’s Office and needed to earn his instrument rating for their fixed-wing aviation program. He chose Aerodynamic for their instructor availability, location, and flexible training program. Mike completed his check-ride on 4/14/2020, earning his instrument rating. Mike wanted to thank his instructors for their patience and superior flight instruction, that contributed to his success. He plans on returning to Aerodynamic to complete his commercial flight training.
New Private Pilot – Robert Knight
Sep 14 2017Date: September 9, 2017
Instructor: Jen Watson
Certification: Private Pilot
A huge congratulations to Robert for passing his Private Pilot checkride with examiner Eric. Robert and his instructor, Jen, flew his Cirrus SR22 Turbo down to Paso Robles on Saturday afternoon and returned to Monterey later that evening with a pilot certificate in hand. Robert owns an art gallery in Monterey and came to AeroDynamic with a background in parasailing. He bought his Cirrus after a few months of training in our Cessnas and plans to travel quite a bit. In fact, he already flew his girlfriend to a baseball came in San Francisco! He plans to continue on to an Instrument Rating after a short break to enjoy his new license. Happy flying 🙂
