*as long as he complies with all of his personal minimums. 🙂

A huge congratulations is in order for Pitam Mitra for breezing past his Instrument Rating checkride with DPE Julie Paasch on September 21. He had some challenging circumstances to deal with. Get this: his oral started at 5:30am. His CFI (me – Chase Franzen) showed up still in pajamas, brain still turned off. Anyone that can form coherent sentences at 5:30am deserves to pass their checkride.

Oh, he apparently flew well too. Congrats, Pitam! You deserved it!
