Another checkride in the books and a new record for fewest hours at just 37.5 (the absolute minimum allowed by regulation). That’s now 12/12 on checkrides total! Great job Tyler!

Congratulations to Tyler Holder on passing his private pilot checkride today! Great work!

When you do slow flight into a strong headwind and practically hover a 172!

From zero time to solo on less than 9 hours! That’s how properly using the sim helps save you money. Great work, Tyler & congratulations on your first solo cross country this morning!

Congratulations to Tyler Holder for completing his first solo today! Great work!

Rockstar student Ryan Crawley completing his first solo just 2 weeks after his first lesson! Would have been even sooner had there not been some nasty weather to contend with (thanks a lot 22 knot crosswinds). Great work Ryan!

Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow veterans out there. This year I am going to give 2 free hours of flight instruction to the the first current or former member of the military that signs up for the private, instrument or commercial course with me at CHS Flight School.

This has got to be one of my favorite flights since I became a pilot. I flew my wife, mom and grandmother around the lake cottage that my great grandfather built and that my whole family has spent many weekends over the years. One of the perks of flying is seeing places that have a special place in your heart from a new perspective.
