Verified pilot · CFI · Jul 2019

Did my CFI-I initial and CFI add on with Mark in of Summer 2018.

Verified pilot · PPL · Aug 2019

Dennis is the perfect example of a DPE. He thoroughly tested me through both the oral and the written with one thing in mind "Does he know enough to fly himself and his loved ones safely?" If you are able to demonstrate this through all aspects of the FAA requirements, he will sign you off. I had a great experience and even learned a little bit during the test. Can't wait to take my IFR with him if able.
