I am very excited to congratulate 3 of our class two studends who have successfully passed their final PPL check-rides with DGCA designated examner Capt Winn. Students Ajwad "Wawad", Felick and Yoga started their PPL course about 3 months ago and, throughout this period, showed us a high evel of dedication, eagerness to learn, love for aviation and desire to succeed. So, congratulations, guys!

And always remeber: despite the feact that Private Pilot License awards you awesome credentials to be almost independent aviators, this is still your license to learn and to improve yourselves with every flight.

Flight Safety International is one of the most recognized and prestigious names in the aviation training industry world-wide. We feel that this is exactly a type of organisation LIFT needs to be associated with: prominent, technologically advanced, a leader in its domain. We certainly have similar aspirations for our role in the Indonesian flight training industry. Therefore, from March 10th, Flight Safety International and LIFT decided to team up: we signed an agreement to include several flight training courses offered by the FSI into LIFT professional pilot curriculum. The details are still being discussed and a comprehensive plan is being developed. But the first step has been taken. And we think, it's going to take us and our students pretty far and mae them much safer and more knowlegeble pilots then their competition on the Indonesian and the international aviation employment markets.

All students from batch One have successfully passed their PPL check-ride with the DGCA examiner today. As fully-qualified private pilots, batch One guys are now certified to fly alone and even carry passengers, friends and family, for leasure activities. We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Dimas, Jack, Jouna, Arun, Elmo and David (not in any particular order) on their achievement and with them the same level of success in the future stages of the LIFT professional flight training program: IR and CPL. Good job, guys!
