Jesse took his check-ride - excuse me, his Private Pilot Practical Test - with George Morikawa on March 21, 2008. George has done hundreds, if not thousands, of check-rides, so I think he knows his airplanes. More importantly, he knows people.
I tried to pump him for details on Jesse’s weak spots, but all he would say was: “He was very strong on the ground portion [the knowledge test].” And, of course, I witnessed his landings. They were perfect.
Congratulations, Jesse!
