Way to go, Chris! We love seeing our students reach their goals, and flying solo around the busy skies in San Jose definitely qualifies as a big achievement. All that hard work with CFI Kenny paid off and you can officially go fly by yourself. Whoot whoot!

New Commercial Pilot – Erin Lai
Jun 25 2022Commercial Pilot Checkride: May 15, 2022
Instructor: Thao Do
Aircraft: Cessna N968RC
School Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
“Training for my commercial license was the most memorable training I’ve had so far. I got my private and instrument back home in SoCal, but moving up here and flying in new airspace was definitely a beneficial experience for me as I was able to learn so much more and gain insight on what aviation really is. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the endless support I received from my family, friends, and of course the best CFI Thao! She has taught me so much and prepared me very well for my checkride. I’m looking forward to pursuing my next rating!” ~ Erin

Instructor: Thao Do
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
“I have always had the dream of learning to fly and it has always a question of “when” and not “if”. When I started my training, I thought I would be nervous but with all the amazing training from Thao and Clinton my solo felt like just another flight. Excited for the next steps and to get my license!” ~ Deepak
