Double Milestone for Dan Holford – PPL Skills Test Passed!

What a week for Dan Holford!

Hot on the heels of completing his Qualifying Cross Country (QXC), Dan returned just one day later to pass his PPL Skills Test—officially earning his Private Pilot Licence!

Flying from Seawing Flying Club at Southend in G-BMXC, Dan showcased not only technical ability, but calm, confident decision-making and strong airmanship throughout his test. Passing the skills test is the final and most comprehensive assessment in PPL training, and Dan’s quick turnaround from QXC to checkride success is a testament to his focus and preparation.

We’re incredibly proud to welcome Dan into the community of licensed pilots. His journey from student to certified aviator has been nothing short of impressive.

Huge congratulations, Captain Holford—clear skies and exciting adventures ahead!
