1200 Flight Line Blvd.
Deland, FL 32720
I moved to Florida in January of 2008 to train as a pilot. I attended school full time. I first obtained my private pilot's license. Within the next year I went on to earn other licenses including my commercial pilot's license with instrument endorsement. The exams for an endorsement or license are extremely intense. A random FAA examiner is assigned to give you the exam. In order to request an exam, you need to complete classroom ground training and pass a written exam. There are also numerous checklists that must be completed and documented in your flight log. The examiner then gives you an oral exam. The exams are designated either pass or fail. Once you have passed both the written and oral exam, the FAA examiner takes you on a flight exam. You are asked to perform various maneuvers and perform inflight procedures. I have uploaded pictures from my solo flight from Deland, Florida to Marathon, Florida. It was a six hour flight in total that I was required to complete alone. It was a truly incredible, humbling experience. Everything a pilot does, is documented thoroughly. With other careers, when an employee makes a mistake, it may cost the company time or money. However, when a pilot makes a mistake, it costs someone their life.
