Congratulations to our newest multi-engine instructor! Claudio trained with our Chief Instructor Jen to earn his Commercial AMEL and now MEI certifications. He did an amazing job on his checkride with a first-time pass with DPE Richard Conte. Claudio will be flying his newly purchased Baron twin-engine aircraft around the west coast with his new ratings and doing a little teaching with us, too. Whoot-whoot!

One of AeroDynamic’s instructors, Mitchell, has nailed a first-time pass of his Commercial AMEL add-on rating with DPE Eric Cook. Mitchell is continuing on to earn his MEI (Multi-engine instructor) certificate in the next couple of months and will soon be teaching in our Twin Comanche, affectionately known as “Twinkie.” Way to rock the checkride, Mitch!!

Congrats to our newest Commercial AMEL pilot, Claudio! He’s already hard at work on his multi-engine instructor (MEI) rating and is buying his first twin-engine airplane, a Beechcraft Baron, which he plans to fly around the continent with his family.

AeroDynamic instructor Lynzie Hudson’s hard work earned her a first-time pass on her MEI checkride! Lynzie teaches tailwheel, aerobatics, upset recovery, spin training, private, instrument, commercial and now multi-engine. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments and can’t wait to see what she will add to her credentials next.

Congrats to Mike on a first-time pass of the Commercial AMEL add-on rating. Mike is already beginning work on his ATP Multi-engine written, then will return to us for his ATP multi-engine flight training. His future plans are then for corporate flying in a Citation around Salinas, CA. Nice way to ace your checkride, Mike!

We are so pleased to have Petra flying with us and soon teaching with us! Petra and her husband Scott came to fly our Twin Comanche. Soon after, Scott began tailwheel with us, and Petra re-instated her CFI, CFII and added MEI to her list of flying capabilities. After a trip to her home in Finland, Petra will be back to teach future multi-engine students. Way to make a first-time pass of this checkride!

New Multi-Engine Pilot – Kelsey Moore

Instructor: David Waksberg & Jen Watson
While most of us would be thrilled to pilot such a single-engine plane like the Pilatus, Kelsey just added multi-engine rating to her license so she can qualify for airline and corporate jobs. With a dedication to studying that most of us only dream of having, Kelsey completely rocked her Commercial Multi-Engine checkride with Eric. We are so proud! And to celebrate…she hopped into her first tailwheel flight and now has another passion to pursue. Welcome to the AeroDynamic family, Kelsey!

Another notch in the pilot belt for Matt! After completing his CFI with us a few years ago, Matt has now accumulated enough flight hours to be a candidate for the airlines. With his Single- and Multi-engine Commercial Pilot License, he will soon be flying right seat on a commercial airliner! It’s great to see your success, Matt! Congrats to CFI David for another amazing job.

Brian, a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, has been pursing a career as an airline pilot. Really, who doesn’t want that? Recently he reached a major milestone in earning his license to fly aircraft with more than one engine. This Multi-Engine Commercial Pilot License allows him to move into the airlines and realize his dream. We are so glad you came to our school for flight training! Congrats to CFI David for all his hard work, too. Way to go, guys!
