Aka. Mr. Ron Levy.

I want to thank this man for giving me the knowledge and confidence I needed to pass my instrument check ride today. I had all but 6ish hours of my requirements to test and realized I was not where I wanted to be. After reading his posts on here and seeing he had a wealth of knowledge I reached out to him. I passed my IR check ride with barely breaking a sweat after spending 3 days with him. I honestly think I learned more in 3 days with this guy than I could make sense of over the past year I had been working on this rating.

Thank you Ron! :D This is a very happy day for me! The clouds are no longer brick walls.
 
Your testimony is entirely consistent with my impressions of Cap'n Ron (a little in person, a lot online), and the observations of others who have worked with him.

So many in life are eager to complain when dissatisfied, so few to compliment when all goes well, so kudos to you for the shout-out -

and, to Cap'n Ron: SA-LUTE!
 
Although I am not a student of his, he has always had time for my emails and calls. Loren as well. It is much appreciated.

And congrats.
 
Exactly what I would expect to hear from every impression I have of Ron.
Excellent.
 
congrats on the instrument rating and the education from Ron.
 
Unsolicited advice...if you at all interested in obtaining a Commercial, do it now...you will never be sharper than you are right now...
 
Before we start praising Capt Ron we need first see if there's a general counsel letter authorizing it. :D
 
Ron is a top notch instructor. He did my check out in the Tiger, and really knows his stuff.

Oh I'm kidding. Everyone knows he's the GC guru.

I might not agree with everything he posts but I know the guy is more knowledgeable about general aviation matters than my self.

We talked that over, but his 182 is straight-leg.

And let me add my public congratulations to Bravo for his accomplishment, and I have to say my job is easy with a really good student.
 
Ron, congratulations on the passed student, and Bravo, go get your ticket wet.

Is there a FAR to cover that? :dunno:

Kidding Ron! :rofl:

Well, I did reference 61.65 and 61.39 in the endorsement.

:D

Seriously, it's great when your trainee has really good fundamental stick and rudder skills -- it lets you focus on just teaching him what to do based on what he sees on the instruments and in the pubs, rather than having to also teach him how to get the plane to do what he wants it to do. I suspect that if Bravo wants to get that Commercial, it would be a piece of cake (once he trades his lovely Turbo Skylane for a Turbo Skylane RG).
 
Thanks everyone, and thanks for the compliments Ron. Commercial May be next for me, but might wait until I have a different airplane.
 
Seems like he needs to get out and make some friends. I'm sure someone on the field has a complex plane they'd lend him to train in. Too many airplanes sit unused - you can find that at just about any airport.
