Andrew Rogers has successfully completed the DVA Flight Academy Private Pilot Course tonight. He demonstrated he is capable of hand flying the airplane, flying the traffic pattern, able to plan VFR flights and navigate them using NDB and VORs.
Andrew was put through his paces on a nice 2.3 hour checkride where he flew cross country without the use of the autopilot and performed several manuevers as well.
For trivia purposes, Andrew was the first to pass the PPL Written Exam and he is the first to pass the PPL checkride.
Congrats Andrew!!!

Congrats Andrew! Wish I had more time to enroll. Be sure to share what you've learned as we all can use a good lesson once in a while.

Andrew: First-Congrats on passing your PPL Checkride. Not only is this a first for DVA Flight Academy, but you were my first student to take and pass the checkride with George Lewis. I hope you had as much fun learning the EMB-120 and the flying as I did with you. Thanks for being a great student. Looking forward to seeing you in any and all future DVA Flight Academy sessions.

George- What is that print screen program it sound like it is very useful. When I do it I have to keep word or paint open to paste the image into.

LOL Andrew - I closed it prior to flying and forgot to restart it... I need to add it to the checklist "screenshot program running"
Andrew Finne - there are several programs - I use yafsscreen - you can get it here: http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de/YAFSScreen/ it's free and in english, even though the website is from Germany.
