One of AeroDynamic’s instructors, Mitchell, has nailed a first-time pass of his Commercial AMEL add-on rating with DPE Eric Cook. Mitchell is continuing on to earn his MEI (Multi-engine instructor) certificate in the next couple of months and will soon be teaching in our Twin Comanche, affectionately known as “Twinkie.” Way to rock the checkride, Mitch!!

New Multi-Engine Pilot – Kelsey Moore

Certification: Commercial Multi-Engine
Aircraft: Twin Comanche N40DA
Instructor: David Waksberg & Jen Watson
While most of us would be thrilled to pilot such a single-engine plane like the Pilatus, Kelsey just added multi-engine rating to her license so she can qualify for airline and corporate jobs. With a dedication to studying that most of us only dream of having, Kelsey completely rocked her Commercial Multi-Engine checkride with Eric. We are so proud! And to celebrate…she hopped into her first tailwheel flight and now has another passion to pursue. Welcome to the AeroDynamic family, Kelsey!

Another notch in the pilot belt for Matt! After completing his CFI with us a few years ago, Matt has now accumulated enough flight hours to be a candidate for the airlines. With his Single- and Multi-engine Commercial Pilot License, he will soon be flying right seat on a commercial airliner! It’s great to see your success, Matt! Congrats to CFI David for another amazing job.

Last November JP earned his Instrument Rating with us. In March he earned his Private Pilot Multi-Engine Rating. Today JP added Airplane Multi-Engine Land to his Commercial Pilot License! Talk about coming in under the wire for a New Year’s Resolution 😉 JP is a full-time student of aeronautics at Cal Poly in Santa Barbara and often gets to fly cool airplanes with his dad, who is an airline and corporate pilot. It has been such a pleasure to be part of your journey. Maybe one day soon we will see you teaching in our Twin Comanche, aka “Twinkie.” Good luck out there and keep the dirty side down.
