First Solo – Richard Lee

Jun 23 2016
Solo Date: June 22, 2016
Aircraft: Cessna 172
Instructor: Jason Brown
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)

KRHV, solo, cessnaOn a warm, calm summer morning, Richard, who comes to us from Vancouver, B.C., left his instructor Jason on the ground at Reid-Hillview airport to take to the skies for his first solo flight. Little did he know that tower would fly a pipeline helicopter right under his final approach path to runway 31R! Keeping his cool, Richard maneuvered over the helicopter and settled gently onto the runway. Flying is constant learning and experience, so congrats on handling the challenges aviation introduces.

P.S. He is a Canucks fan, but we don’t hold that against him 😉

New ATP License – Jen Delp-Mallet

Apr 16 2016
Date: April 14, 2016
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
Certification: Airline Transport Pilot, Multi-Engine

Our Chief Instructor, Jen, recently earned her Multi-Engine ATP license in our Twin Comanche with DPE Yuzo Wakita. Jen gives a big thank you to everyone who cheered her on, especially her mentor and former owner of AeroDynamic Aviation, Zdravko Podolski. Under Zdravko’s tutelage, this former airline pilot has completed her tailwheel, CFII, MEI, and now ATP.

This summer Jen plans on competing at aerobatic competitions and earning IAC Judge status. Her Decathlon, N2804Z is a gorgeous red, 150-hp Decathlon that will be coming online in San Jose soon.

“Zdravko taught me how to really fly an airplane and to learn something new each day.” ~ Jen

The President is Coming – Bay Area TFR on Monday

Nov 22 2013

The Bay Area is getting another visit from Air Force One on Monday.

Presidential TFR Nov 25, 13

Presidential TFR Nov 25, 13

Reid Hillview will be affected by a 32nm TFR centered on the SFO VOR, which means that from 10:15am PST to 3:59pm PST, flights will be restricted. Not prohibited, just restricted.

We will still be able to fly from the airport and come back, but flight plans will need to be filed and activated and a squawk code obtained BEFORE takeoff. Do remember to turn your transponder to ALT immediately after starting the engine. Do not wait till takeoff.

Patternwork is not allowed at RHV during this time.

More stringent restrictions apply closer to the center of the TFR, so don’t plan on any Bay Tours.

See http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_3_2907.html for more details

REMEMBER – listen to 121.5 at all times unless you are talking to ATC already.
