In the morning of August 5, 2016, Student Pilot Martin Joshua Palomares San Miguel attained the most significant event of a career in aviation, the “1st Solo Flight” courtesy of Senior Flight Instructor Capt. Lance Concepcion.
S.P. Joshua was released for solo flight in just 17.5 flying hours, firming up his self-confidence and officially be counted among the present breed of Leading Edge’s young and daring eaglets.
Moreover, this historic event was followed by the successful passing of the PPL checkrides one after the other by batchmates S.P. Genesis Banaria Lim, S.P. Nathan Lorenzo DL Tabones, and S.P. Yancy Franz Caabay Pascua conducted by the very capable CAAP Flight Examiner, Capt. Rolando “Kid” Relova.
Now, these very young aviators who have proven their worth and dedication are certainly well trained and prepared to proceed to the next level of their quest for excellence and that is, getting their Commercial Pilot’s License.
