Houston Pinch Hitter hosted a Pilot Companion Course on April 4th in the Galaxy FBO conference room. The objective of this course was to introduce a non-flying member of the family to flying an airplane. There were 20 attendees in the course and 4 students are now pursuing their full private certificates. Five aircraft were on the ramp for the attendees to learn about: 2 Piper Archers, a Grumman Cheetah, a Mooney, and a Cessna 172.

The CPPP is organized by the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) as a recurrent training with Cirrus-specific flight and ground instruction. Many members choose to make the CPPP a key part of their annual or biannual training as they are able to socialize with like-minded pilots and Cirrus owners.
