Have you earned your instrument rating yet? Student Scott says, "Having the ability to go IFR is real freedom of flying. It adds an element of safety if you're flying VFR and happen to accidentally enter IMC." Thanks for sharing this video, Scott!

Congrats, Nicola!! Nicola Stark, one of CFI Summer's first students, was accepted by the Air National Guard! Next fall, Nicola will begin OTS officer training school before starting UPT undergraduate pilot training school for 2 years. Once she completes her training, she'll head to the Fresno base to fly the F15!... This is a great accomplishment. Nicola, the future is yours! Photo via @summ_wannafly (Instagram)

He did it! Our student Jamen earned his instrument rating with the help of CFI Summer! Congrats on this incredible accomplishment! Your hard work has truly paid off.

Let's enjoy a different type of view today: New Melones Lake out near Angels Camp, CA. While we may not be able to visit each place we fly over right now, we can still enjoy the views. As they say, "The journey is the destination."

We are continuously impressed by our students' hard work! Our student Victor and CFI Summer are officially ready for checkride prep. You've got this, Victor!

Easy like flying on a summer day As we head closer to the weekend, we hope the sun heads your way too!

We could use a solid day of flying right now! Are you ready for the week?

To all our friends, families, students and the pilot community, Happy Independence Day! The PFA team wishes you all a safe, relaxing holiday weekend at home. Here are to more sunny weekends in the future! While this weekend might not be what we normally expect, we hope to make the best of it. What do you all have planned for your home activities this weekend?

Our students' confidence and skill in flight is everything to us! So when they can take command, it makes all their hard work that much sweeter. Way to go Jamen! You make CFI Summer and and CFI Whitney so proud! Photo via @summ_wannafly (Instagram)
