Congrats, Kila!Congratulations to Kila (right) on his successful Private Pilot Checkride. Last year Kila came from Hawaii to "get it done" and obtained his Sport Pilot Certificate. He came back this year and used his sport pilot hours with a little more training and got his Private Pilot Certificate all in a Sling 2 Light Sport Aircraft. Great example of using sport to private at Sport Aviation Center. Matt CFII (left) is also happy with another successful training/recommendation Private Pilot.
