Dan Linehan Earns 5 Month Private
Dan LinehanDan Linehan began training for his private certificate in June and averaged twice weekly lessons.  He passed the checkride in December with a little over 50 hours and had this to say about his experience.

"Dave remained professional and courteous at all times during my training. I was most impressed and challenged by his insistence on perfection during all stages of flight from preflight, maneuvers, landing and post-flight. Because of this I felt thoroughly prepared and confident prior to the check-ride. He was always available to answer my questions, and he eagerly accommodated my busy schedule. Despite having a full-time job that requires extensive travel, Dave's excellent instruction and flexible schedule allowed me to successfully complete my private pilot certificate in only 5 months".
Ant Bilsev Passes Commercial
Ant BilsevAnt is from Hamburg, Germany and loves coming to San Diego to visit, fly, and generally have fun.  Ant has passed private, instrument, and commercial in only a little over a year, with his latest accomplishment being the commercial certificate. Congratulations. Now, the next step for Ant is Certified Flight Instructor which he will do sometime in 2010.
