Program Update

An update here from our program manager...

• Dale Shaylor passed his commercial pilot written exam last week. Now a flight test is scheduled for this coming Wednesday with a Civil Aviation examiner. Kevin Borror took his written yesterday (Wednesday) and will have results late today. It appears that DAC officials still don't know quite what to do with us. The first test they gave Kevin was much longer than the one Dale took. After some chat, the official told him to just do a certain number of each section. This was still longer than Dale's and included many calculation questions so it took Kevin double the time. We will definitely be looking for the gal that gave Dale his when the rest of us go in to take the test in the next weeks!

• Things are rather unstable at Civil Aviation at the present. The Director has been suspended and there is fear and trembling in the ranks. Pray that this will not effect our license process now that we finally have a solution.

• Fred Schmidt is in Guatemala, this week and next, helping with PFRs and such. Lots of flying for the rest of us with jungle schools starting classes again this week after summer vacation.
