He passed on that generous offer and at my suggestion called Mesa, where he did fine.
Something about this doesn’t sound right. Why would he have to redo ground school if he already passed the SV? Also, you take the PV before you ever go into the sim so why would he need additional sim sessions if he was never recommended for the PV?
