Around the beginning of February I transferred flight schools to AirQuest to finish my Private Pilot Certificate and continue my training in pursuit of one day becoming a commercial airline pilot. I was greeted with open arms and was instantly made a priority to the wonderful staff and instructors. One month and one week later I took my PPL check ride and passed! Instructors Johnathan, Chris, and Matt especially took my training to a professional level.”
