✈️ EVERY SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT BEGINS LONG BEFORE TAKEOFF.
And behind every milestone in aviation is a team of people who make the journey possible.
Mactan Aviation Technology Center, Inc. (MATCI) has successfully concluded its series of CAAP check rides for our student pilots! 🎉🧑✈️✈️
This achievement is not just about the students in the cockpit. It is a reflection of the hard work, preparation, support, and dedication of the entire MATCI family.
To our student pilots—congratulations! Your perseverance, countless hours of training, and commitment have brought you one step closer to your dreams of taking to the skies. We are proud of you! ✈️
To our parents and families—thank you for being our students’ strongest support system. Behind every aspiring pilot is a family that believes, encourages, and makes sacrifices along the way. ❤️
To our Flight Instructors, Capt. Michael Sarael, Capt. William Ivan Aguilar, Capt. Dondon Carungay, Capt. Yeoj Timbol and Capt. Terrence Dejesica —thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, patience, and passion for aviation. More than teaching our students how to fly, you are helping shape the pilots they aspire to become.
To our MATCI staff—thank you for all the work that happens behind the scenes. From preparation to coordination and everything in between, your dedication keeps things moving safely and smoothly.
And a very special THANK YOU to our School Registrar, Ma’am Evelyn Gemeniano! ❤️
Your dedication, patience, and tireless efforts in facilitating and coordinating this entire endeavor played a huge part in making these check rides a success. We truly appreciate everything you have done for our students and for MATCI! 👏🏼
And, of course, our gratitude to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) for conducting the check rides and for helping ensure that our aspiring pilots are trained and assessed according to the standards of Philippine aviation.
Today, we celebrate not just a completed check ride, but another milestone in the journey of our future aviators.
From the classroom, to the cockpit, to the skies—every step matters. ✈️
Congratulations to our student pilots and thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone possible!
The journey continues. The skies await. 🛫💙
