🎉CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

Sophia Ayers passed her instrument check-ride!

Another major milestone achieved through hard work, discipline, and countless hours in the clouds (and under the hood). Instrument rating isn’t easy — it takes precision, confidence, and next-level aeronautical decision making.

We’re proud of you, Sophia!
