Justin Scheel of Highland, Arkansas, has officially passed his Instrument Checkride! Justin started flying because he has always been intrigued by airplanes, and the concept of flight. When asked about what it was like passing his checkride, Justin said, "It was tough but refreshing at the same time. It is humbling to be tested so extensively, and see that all of the hard work has paid off. " His instructor, Tim Ambrose, said, "Justin is a great example of how hard work pays off, he has studied hard through the semester and Tuesday he passed his checkride. Justin is an exceptional pilot and will go far. " Justin will continue his training with Ozarka's aviation program this spring while completing his Associates of Applied Science-Commercial Pilot Degree.
