Commercial pilot! (photobombed by the Space Needle)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hey, everybody,<\/p>\n

It’s been a really busy summer – a dog hasn’t had any time to write a blog, in fact! But we wrapped up summer in the most exciting way – our dear Yvette is now a Commercial Pilot!<\/p>\n

That means that when you come to our place to take a scenic flight<\/a>, Yvette will now (most likely) be your pilot!<\/p>\n

This is really special, you guys. Yvette learned to fly here at Seattle Seaplanes: she took her first flight lesson with us, and she stuck it out for her Private license. She went on to get a land plane rating, too, but her heart is (and has always been) with seaplanes. She’s part of our family, and that makes me extra proud.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My dad is very proud of Yvette<\/p><\/div>\n

If you’re curious about what it takes to become a Commercial pilot, or what the differences are between pilot certificates, here are the specs.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Basically, you start as a Private pilot, gain some experience, then do some advanced training and bookwork (which Yvette aced<\/em>, by the way) for the Commercial.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, come see us! \u00c2\u00a0And congratulations to Yvette!<\/p>\n

We love each other<\/p><\/div>\n

Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n
