This was Uible’s first flight as a student pilot without his instructor in the aircraft.
Uible, a resident of New Richmond, is studying to obtain his pilot certificate at Sporty’s Academy at Clermont County Airport in Batavia.
When David obtains his pilot certificate, he will be able to carry a passenger and fly as long as weather conditions are favorable.
The aircraft that David has been using for his flight training can carry four people and cruises at nearly 140 miles per hour.
David Uible will soon join the ranks of more than 600,000 U.S. licensed pilots who learned to fly for the challenge and adventure. Anyone interested in more information about learning to fly may visit www.sportysacademy.com or call Sporty’s Academy at (513) 735-9500.
