changing jobs toward the
end of my training, but he
stuck with me to get me

" My CFI, Alyssa Cobb, was so
patient with me. She made
me feel comfortable and
confident that you can do
this. With every maneuver she
taught, she knew in a matter
of time it all would click. The
radio calls were a bit scary
especially when you can hear
yourself, and I knew I was
going to leave something out
when I returned the same
message back to ATC. She
told me: write it down. "

FLIGHT TRAINING JUNE 2023
" My CFI for my primary
training was very skilled at
understanding my learning
style and adapted the way
he instructed to teach things
in a way that would help me
comprehend it the best. If a
maneuver or concept wasn't
clicking for me, he'd find
multiple ways to go about
explaining it, which gave
me confidence in my
understanding of flying
throughout the training
process. "
