The hard part is learning to fly. The harder part is proving you can do it alone. Landon Metcalf did both. ✈️

August 20, 2026 — checkride day. Every lesson, every circuit, every cross-country, every ground study session led to this moment. Landon trusted the training, stepped up when it counted, and walked away with a Private Pilot Certificate that is absolutely earned.

Couldn't have done it without Derin Reinke, CFI, CFII — the guidance, the preparation, and the kind of instruction that builds confident pilots from the ground up.

Late to share this one, but great news is worth waiting for — congrats, Landon! 🎉

NAOKI LE IS OFFICIALLY A COMMERCIAL PILOT! ✈️

Earning a Commercial Pilot Certificate isn't just another checkride — it's the moment flying stops being a hobby and starts being a career. Precision maneuvers held to commercial standards, a written and oral exam that leave no room for guesswork, and a flight test that demands sharper flying than ever before. Naoki showed up ready and walked away certificated.

Take a bow, Brian Rose, CFI, CFII — the instruction and mentorship behind this milestone made all the difference.

Here's to a career built on doing what you love, Naoki — the paychecks start now.

CAVAN CRAIN, SOLO PILOT. That has a very nice ring to it. 🛫

On August 30, 2026, Cavan Crain lifted off without an instructor, flew the entire pattern alone, and landed as a solo pilot. Every radio call, every turn in the pattern, every final approach — handled solo for the very first time. This is the moment student pilots work months toward, and Cavan delivered it perfectly.

All the credit goes to Abby Young, CFI, CFII — for the outstanding preparation and for trusting their student to step up to the moment.

Cavan, this is what it all builds to. Keep climbing.

Qimo Yang. The runway was full. Then it wasn't. ✈️

August 29, 2026 — Qimo Yang flew the entire pattern alone for the very first time. No instructor in the seat beside them. No one to call on. Just Qimo, the airplane, and months of preparation coming together in exactly the way you hope it will. Every radio call, every leg of the pattern, every touchdown — all solo. First solo only comes once, and Qimo nailed it.

Full marks to Kevin Hunter, CFI, CFII — for the sharp preparation and the confidence to step back and let the training do the talking.

Qimo, that solo is in the logbook, and it's yours to keep.

Abby backseated the flight in. Royce took the picture. This is the whole career in one shot.

Keep chasing that tail.

COMMERCIAL PILOT. Cassidy Blake just made it official. ✈️

Passing the commercial checkride means turning a passion for flying into a legitimate career path — precision maneuvers, commercial-standard proficiency, and the pressure of a checkride that doesn't leave room for guesswork. Cassidy handled all of it and came out the other side with a shiny new certificate.

Credit where it's due: Kevin Hunter, CFI, CFII, put in the work to get Cassidy ready for this exact moment.

Onward to a career built on doing what you love, Cassidy.

Yesterday, Perry Mitchum set what might be a United Flight Systems record — earning two ratings in a single day. 😅

Okay, okay… that's not exactly what happened. We accidentally posted Perry's Instrument Rating checkride as a Private Pilot milestone. Our bad, Perry. Truly.

So let's do this right: Perry Mitchum is officially instrument-rated! ✈️

The Instrument Rating is a complete shift in how a pilot operates — trusting the gauges when the outside world goes gray, executing precision approaches to minimums, holding in complex airspace, and making go/no-go calls based on data instead of gut feeling. Perry put in every hour it took and delivered on checkride day.

Huge shoutout to Emerson Lane, CFI, CFII — whose detailed instruction and steady coaching took Perry from the visual world through the clouds and into the IFR system.

Sorry, Perry — but congratulations are now officially official. Welcome to the IFR world. 🎉

Assistant Chief Jerome Brown in the full-motion sim with a student, dual headsets, runway in the glass.

Fog on the visual and the kind of smile you get when the approach is coming together. This is where the procedures get real before they happen in the airplane.

Keep that scan going.

Jaime Grey just joined the 1,000-hour club. ✈️

August 23, 2026: red cockpit light, a tablet held up with four digits, and a night flight that put 1,000 hours in the logbook. That number is not a certificate you hang on a wall. It is years of go/no-go calls, night work, and time in the seat.

Jaime, four digits looks good in the glow of the panel.
