New Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot – Ghyrn Loveness
Nov 07 2016Date: October 20, 2016
Instructor: David Waksberg
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
Certification: Multi-Engine Rating, Commercial Pilot
Ghyrn comes from a family of flyers and chose AeroDynamic Aviation to pursue a multi-engine rating add-on to his Commercial Pilot Certificate. His Instructor David did an amazing job, finishing the training in just 8 flights! It helps that Ghyrn flies regularly and has accrued over 1,000 hours 🙂 Still, they both worked hard and Ghyrn passed his checkride first attempt with Examiner Yuzo Wakita. Ghyrn has already been spotted taking friends out flying in the Twin Comanche, affectionately called “Twinkie.” Well done!
New Multi-Engine Pilot – Qi Liu
Sep 26 2016Date: September 23, 2016
Instructor: Ron Vlastelica
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
Certification: Multi-Engine Rating
Qi Liu came to us as an instrument-rated private pilot who owns and flies how own Bonanza A36. With just over 200 hours of flight time already, plus complex and high performance endorsements, Qi took to our Piper Twin Comanche easily under the guidance of his CFI Ron. His training included engine shutdowns and restarts, single-engine instrument approaches, stall recognition and recovery, and much more to add a multi-engine rating to his private pilot certificate with examiner Yuzo Wakita. Congrats to Qi and we thank him for training with us!

A huge congratulations to our newest Multi-Engine Airline Transport Pilot! Tipp earned his “doctorate in aviation” on Tuesday in our Twin Comanche with DPE Yuzo Wakita. ATP requires a minimum of 1500 flight hours, among other requirements, so this accomplishment deserves a big round of applause. Well done to Tipp and his instructors, Ron Vlastelica and Jen Delp-Mallet.

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.
