Congratulations to Mark on passing his Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) checkride on the first attempt! 🎉✈️

Mark made the trip all the way from Michigan to spend the week training with us, and his hard work, dedication, and determination paid off in a big way. Earning your MEI is no small accomplishment, and knocking it out on the first try makes it even more impressive.

Thank you for trusting Vertical Vision Flight Academy to be part of your journey. We’re proud to have helped you reach this milestone and can’t wait to see where your aviation career takes you next.
