We’re proud of Brad for sticking with it and reaching this milestone. Congratulations, Brad! 👏🛩️

🔥✈️ MASSIVE congratulations to Ryan Keith on passing his Commercial Single-Engine checkride!

We’re incredibly proud of Ryan for all the hard work he’s put in to reach this milestone. The future is bright—congratulations, Ryan! 👏🛩️

Another one in the books!

Our students and instructors have been incredibly busy lately, and we’re excited to congratulate Andrew Robinson on earning his Private Pilot Certificate! 🎉

Happy birthday to our most picked on flight instructor! Things wouldn’t be the same without you Leland!

Lastly, but certainly not least, HUGE congratulations to Maggie Hill on passing her Private Pilot Checkride on May 19th! ✈️🎉

At just 17 years old she has already achieved something that most people only dream about—earning a Private Pilot Certificate. Her hard work, dedication, and determination have truly paid off.

We are extremely proud of her achievement and look forward to watching her continue to grow as an aviator. Congratulations, Maggie!

🎉✈️ Congratulations to one of our very own, Emma Chapman, on passing her CFI-I (Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument) checkride!

The CFI-I is an advanced instructor rating that requires a deep understanding of instrument flying, IFR regulations, procedures, and the ability to teach them effectively. It is a challenging achievement that represents a high level of aviation knowledge and professionalism.

What makes this accomplishment even more special is that Emma has earned every single one of her ratings right here at APP Flight. From her first lessons to now becoming an Instrument Flight Instructor, she has demonstrated outstanding dedication, work ethic, and commitment to excellence every step of the way.

We are incredibly proud of Emma and all she has accomplished. Congratulations, Emma—your APP Flight family is cheering you on! 🎊✈️

🎉✈️ A huge congratulations to one of our very own, Mr. Joe Jervis, on passing his Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) checkride on the FIRST TRY!

The CFI is widely regarded as one of the most challenging checkrides in aviation, with a significantly lower first-time pass rate than most pilot certificates. Earning it on the first attempt is a testament to Joe’s knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to excellence.

Joe is an incredibly important part of the APP Flight team, and his hard work plays a major role in the success of our students and our program. We are proud to have him on our staff and excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make as a flight instructor.

Congratulations, Joe! Well deserved! 👨‍✈️✈️

It’s been a busy week at APP Flight!

Our students and instructors have been working hard, and the results are showing. This week alone, we’ve celebrated multiple checkride passes and welcomed several new pilots into the aviation community!

🎉✈️ HUGE congratulations to Ms. Katie Jo Crowder on passing her Private Pilot checkride and officially becoming a pilot at just SEVENTEEN years old!

Katie Jo’s hard work, dedication, and determination have paid off in a big way. Earning a Private Pilot Certificate is a tremendous accomplishment, and doing it at such a young age makes it even more impressive.
