A Picture speaks a thousand words...

The picture of Kaitlyn is telling everyone that she's thrilled to have her flight test and other obstacles to certification behind her. Matt, her very proud instructor, had been trying to catch up with Kaitlyn for a picture ever since she passed her Flight Test on October 18th. Today, he finally did so - in flying conditions that were absolutely great. Can you tell it's just a little cold though - check out Kaitlyn's mittens.

Matt is still trying to get his trio of successful pilots, Kaitlyn, Steve and Scott, together for a group picture. Recording their achievement over the same weekend would be quite something.

Matt scores a hat trick - Congratulations to our three intrepid aviators..

Many congratulations to the three pilots who successfully tackled their Flight Tests this weekend. Kaitlyn, Scott and Steve all did their instructors, and the Club, proud. It will make for a memorable weekend for all concerned. Hopefully, the achievement will pave the way for much more active flying within the Club, although at least one successful pilot is due to leave Kingston shortly. Although we're missing Kaitlyn's picture (it's traditional that we conduct at least one flight test in the gathering darkness eh, Glenn?) we do have pictures of two very happy pilots and a proud instructor. We'll catch up with Kaitlyn's picture before long.

Book me in for the Flight Test - the Written is behind me..

It's not clear that Scott actually said that this morning after he cracked the Transport Canada written exam, but I'm sure that it's what he was feeling. Most people believe that the most daunting aspect of gaining certification is successfully passing the four written papers. With that behind him, Scott is ready to tackle the pure delight of the Flight Test.
