Sid Dudley DVA 3710 passed his Commercial Checkride this evening. His flying was excellent and steady. Turns, climbs, descents were all on target. He continued to do excellent landings and touch and goes. Good Job, Sid PS: He kept looking for the ugly gator and the bulldog, but neither he nor Ted E Bear could find them. Instrument course is next....

Hey Sid
I think I was that gator you saw when you were trying to land. Looks like you and I were in the air at the same time.
Congratulations!!!
Have a good day.

Thanks again, everyone. Jason, as a real world student pilot, the experience and knowledge gained from the DVA Academy PPL and Commercial courses have greatly added to my flying ability and knowledge. Now as a CFI for DVA I am able to pass this knowledge on to others. We have a great staff of instructors that dedicate a lot of their time and knowledge to make DVA Flight Academy just as great as everything else about DVA. I would highly recommend for those with a high speed internet connection, FS9, and a headset to sign up for the courses. Everything learned can be put to use no matter what aircraft you fly.
