Mr. Ben Gabriel,
I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the time and patience
extended to me while training at ATP for the SIC Type Rating in
the CE525 on August19/20, 2009. 

It was exhilarating, fun, and an adventure far beyond what one
might expect.  For me, it was a lifelong dream come true.
Self-satisfaction was a great part of the training, in that
I now havethe confidence, capability, and knowledge to safely
handle the 525 ifthe need arises.You seemed to have an uncanny
ability to impart knowledge with ease, ina comfortable manner,
well accepted by most pilots like myself. Inaddition, you have
not only the essential qualities of a "goodinstructor", but the
rare ones that make for a "fantastic instructor".You are patient
and understanding, and tend to guide rather than merely correct.
Every instruction or comment you made served always aspositive
reinforcement, never chastisement. I attribute this to
yoursincerity, dedication and love of flying. I found it
quite easy tofollow your directions, and the slight errors made
occasionally, weresimply erased with additional reinforcement.
 At times when you wereperforming crew duties assigned by the
Captain for a Day, yourhands seemed to be a blur moving around
the flight deck. It was quiteimpressive to say the least. It
was evident on how well trained anddisciplined you are as a
pilot. In my humble opinion, may I say that itis a rare
opportunity to meet someone of such high caliber. "Thank you
for everything!".

Ben, it was a pleasure flying with you, and an adventure that
will remain with me forever. I wish you well in all your
endeavors.I am looking forward to another opportunity to train
with ATP when theDiamond Jet Program moves forward.   

Best Wishes,

Frank Scotto
