Stephanie Recchia - 15 September 2021

PRIVATE PILOT

Stephanie Recchia successfully passed her PRIVATE PILOT check ride today.
She did this in some very challenging crosswind conditions. In fact, Brad gave here a few extra points for completing the check ride in conditions less than ideal. He doesn't do that very often.
Stephanie said passing the check ride lifted a huge weight off her shoulders. I can only imagine!
As her instructor, I'm very proud of what Stephanie accomplished today. She worked exceptionally hard to achieve this goal. I foresee many years of flying ahead for her.
Stephanie, my hats off to you. A job VERY well done.

Congratulations.

Congratulations are in order to Brian Selle on a MAJOR accomplishment today. He successfully passed his private pilot check ride with Brad Smith. Brian did a nice job. He did mention it was a lot of work.

A big thanks to Brad Smith for him squeezing Brian in his busy schedule to accommodate the check ride. Thanks, Brad.

Great job, Brian. Now you don't have to listen to me anymore. You are now a genuine pilot. Fly often and fly safe.
