Sapp Earns Pilot Certificate

Published on June 19, 2018


Simeon Jonas Sapp is officially a pilot! On June 7, 2018, Simeon, who resides in Cherokee Village, completed his checkride while traveling from Melbourne, AR (42A) to Tulsa, OK (KTUL). At the conclusion of this flight, he completed his practical examination and earned his Private Pilot Certificate. He was required to complete a knowledge test as well as a practical examination consisting of an extensive oral exam and demonstration flight with an FAA approved Designated Pilot Examiner.

When asked about the experience, Simeon said passing the checkride was a huge relief! He added, "Overall, it's awesome to have this goal completed. " Simeon's career plans include receiving further training toward his commercial rating so he can become a missionary pilot.

"Simeon has been a great student and I look forward to seeing him progress with his future training, " said Tim Ambrose, Ozarka College flight instructor. Upon completion of Ozarka's FAA approved Part 141 flight school, students have the opportunity to transfer to Henderson State University (HSU) in Arkadelphia, Arkansas or University of Central Missouri (UCM) in Warrensburg, Missouri; or complete their multi-engine commercial training at Ozarka College.
