New Private Pilot – Heather Hayden

Instructors: Jen Watson & Ivan Stanojevic

The challenge of learning in a conventional airplane (aka tailwheel or taildragger) is worth the time and dedication when you turn out pilots as accomplished as Heather. Despite various setbacks throughout training (a broken wrist from playing sports, forest fires, weather challenges, a pandemic, etc.), she persevered to become a lady taildragger pilot on her first checkride attempt. We love having Heather as part of our family and hope she enjoys many years flying around and exploring California. CONGRATS!!!

“Flying has always been a dream of mine but I never had the time to pursue it.  During the COVID shutdown,  the opportunity presented itself and with everything closed I now had the time to achieve my dream. 
 
The staff and instructors at Aerodynamic Aviation were ALL amazing!  I can’t speak highly enough about them.  Their knowledge, dedication, and passion for flying and teaching are second to none.  

Thank you for helping make my dream become a reality.” ~ Scott

“I’ve been fascinated about aviation for my entire life. When I was little, I used to beg my parents to take me to airports to watch the big airliners arrive and depart to places around the globe. When I grew up, I was different from my peers in that I knew exactly what I wanted to be: a professional pilot. When I started college at The Ohio State University, I got to work on my PPL but had to put my plans on hold for the COVID-19 pandemic. I elected to finish my license at Aerodynamic Aviation back home and finally earned my PPL. My future plans are to continue to earn my ratings and pursue my dream of becoming a career pilot, either in the airline, corporate, or cargo fields.” ~ Matthew

“Thank you to all the folks at Aerodynamic Aviation for making my journey to become a private pilot so enjoyable. Training with Ivan in the Citabrias has been an awesome experience. Ivan has transformed me into a confident, safe, and skilled tailwheel pilot. I also want to give special shoutouts to Kat and Matt; the casual conversations in the office have taught me so much about aviation. I’m looking forward to continuing my training here and eventually getting my instrument rating later this year.” ~ Brian
