Fast forward to 2020 I was looking around multiple flight school and inflight pilot training really stood out from all of them . I spoke with sadie she was at the front desk at that time , I had no knowledge of where to start , what are the different steps nothing , Sadie basically walked me through everything step by step she adviced me to start by taking a discovery flight scheduled me with Matt Hepp they were both awesome . After my discovery flight on May 2020 I was so hooked because I never actually had the experience of pushing the throttle to accelerate the aircraft down the runway the or taxi an aircraft . Private pilot license After getting my 3rd class medical and clearance from tsa I began my journey back in June 2020 and I was assigned with Colin Hernon , Great guy and a knowledgeable aviator , he had real patience , I messed up multiple times with the maneuvers but he never yelled or showed me attitude , same postive attitude every class enjoy working with him , but then I had to choose a secondary instructor that’s where John came in another awesome CFII , we’re always laughing every class and cracking jokes I enjoyed every moment with him , he was the CFII who believed in me and solo me on September 18 2020 a day I’ll forever remember, after finishing my Solo , John got a job as a corporate pilot so he had to leave . I Continued working with Hernon and I aced my Private checkride on March 4 2021 . From that moment on my motivation was boasted to another. Instrument Rating : After finishing my PPL I didn’t waste anytime I continued taking classes with Colin , checking off everything on the aeronautical experience . It was the toughest rating but Colin was just that patient guy he ensure I understand stuff before moving on ,after a few months of training , it was time for Colin leave after reaching his ATP mins .. Had to choose another CFI as quickly as possible , that’s where Stephen Lynch came in another knowledgeable and wise aviator . I was so blessed and lucky to have great CFIs through out my journey because not everyone is the same , some can be rough and impatient sometime . Anyways me and Steeve keep working together shooting approaches , his teaching techniques were similar to Colin’s just minor differences but I still adjusted quickly , he explained everything to bits and pieces so you can understand if you don’t he always explain it again and again . I aced my IRA checkride on November 2 2021 and it was time for a vacation ! Commercial Pilot training After coming back fresh from vacation I flew as much as possible with CFI to get familiar with the commerical maneuvers and also build time with my friends , the big takeaway at inflight is that the have a lot of aircraft , and the scheduling on flight circle gives flexibility to pilots whose working and financing their dream . That was a huge win for me , after flying as much as I can I got my 250 hours and was proficient on all my maneuvers ready for my checkride on October 30 2022 I aced it. My journey at inflight is going great especially meeting and see all these wonderful individuals, making new pilot friends and the aviation environment it’s definitely home ! You won’t regret joining any moment. Now I just planned on finishing up CFI training work with inflight and chase my ultimate goal of becoming an airline pilot . read less
