It’s not often a flight instructor has two student checkrides on the same day, but today was the day for me. Congratulations to Bill Halpin on successfully completing his Commercial Multiengine rating, and to Peter Hessedal for completion of his Instrument Airplane rating.
Bill has been on a ratings tear…completing his Commercial Helicopter in July, his Commercial Airplane Single-Engine Land and Single-Engine Sea in October, and now his Commercial Multiengine Land! Great job, Bill. CFI is the next rating that he has in his sights, although he’s undecided whether he’ll go for Airplane or Helicopter first.
Peter has been on a long, winding road to his Instrument Rating, but finally realized his dream today. But even the home stretch was tough, having completed his oral exam two weeks ago, but getting thwarted by icing that day and on one other attempt. But today was gorgeous and he completed the task.
Great job, Bill and Peter!
