To Whom it May Concern: 

I, Richard E. Decker was enrolled in the Professional Pilot program through Salt Lake Community College 

and Cornerstone Aviation from Jan 2011 through Jul20l1. I completed my "end of course" flight with 

Darren Nelson on July 1, 2011 in Ogden, Utah. I completed my FAA Private Pilot check ride with Steve 

Biggs on July 8, 201l. 

1 was present when Steve Biggs reviewed my Cornerstone Aviation flight folder and 1 s~w the completion 

certificate signed by D.C. Hope from Cornerstone Aviation. I do not remember receiving a completion 

certifh;ate from Cornerstone. However, upon my successful completion of my FM check ride I went 

home and purged much of my paperwork and forms. I can not definitively confirm that I did or did not 

receive the completion certificate. Alii can honestly say is that I do not remember receiving one. 

Sincerely, 

Richard E. Decker

In response to the letter, dated July 12, 2011, from the SLC FSDO. 

Topic: Graduation Certificate that was signed but had n.o signature for "Records 

Certified Correct''. 

I have sent out an email to all the CFI's, for Corn.erstone Aviation, and told the:tn 

that the only people that can sign the graduation certificates is a Chief Instrncto:r.\ whlch is 

myself or Susan Horstman. The only way someone else can sign a graduation certificate 

is ifwe·delegate it out and. Susan or I have certified the records correct. I was not aware 

that the graduation certificate was signed in Ogden and ha.d n.ot authorized the CFI to sign 

it.
