EX-025 now makes the August 2 and August 3 solo entries inspectable. EX-026 records the subsequent training flights on August 8, 13, and 29. EX-027 contains the original endorsements. These redacted records supplement the earlier date-verification note below, which described the sources available on September 4. The text exchange retains the dates exactly as written. The new summaries distinguish recorded flights from Dave’s recollection of solo requests changing to dual lessons. Personal names identifying Dave and instructor certificate numbers are permanently redacted; an unclear August 29 hour figure is not transcribed.
The KCLL data materially weakens a generalized characterization that I was very slow throughout the runway-aligned final.
Revised wording
The analyzed KCLL segment shows an approximately 70.5-knot median calculated ground speed. It does not resolve whether a brief slow event or instructor intervention occurred.
Reason and source
EX-006 describes becoming slow on approach without specifying a duration or point. Smoothed ground speed over a selected segment does not decide that account. Read the dated record
Solo-date verification clarified
Previous wording
The later-reviewed flight record establishes that my most recent solo was August 3.
Revised wording
I later reported August 3 as my most recent solo. The original logbook or scheduling record is not published here, so readers cannot independently verify that date from this exhibit.
Reason and source
EX-004 records the dates stated in the text exchange, not independent verification of the later-reported August 3 date. Read the dated record
Billing status attributed
Previous wording
Returns #1311 and #1312 were processed.
Revised wording
EX-014 records Jose Eduardo Capellan’s confirmation that the corrections had been handled. Dave reports later reconciliation; that bank record is not published here.
Reason and source
Unpublished return identifiers were removed. Jose Eduardo Capellan’s confirmation and Dave’s report are distinguished from a bank record readers can inspect. Read the dated record
Recordings removed from playback
Previous wording
Accuracy-corrected transcripts identify editorial corrections to the spoken narration.
Revised wording
Playback is paused while narration is corrected. Revised written versions remain available as editorial adaptations, with timestamps referring to the archived recordings.
Reason and source
Correcting text does not correct spoken errors. The recordings are retained privately and no longer served in this revision. Read the dated record
The public record begins at publication
This account underwent extensive prepublication review against source records, including emails, text messages, logbook records, billing records, and Garmin flight data.
Draft-stage revisions made before public launch are preserved in the internal revision history but are not listed here as corrections to published reporting.
If a material factual error is identified after publication, I will correct it promptly and document the change here.
PUBLIC RECORD
Source-verification corrections published
As of , the regulatory characterization, update chronology, evidence mappings, and interpretive-media transcripts have been corrected against the primary record and official FAA sources.
CHANGE CLASSIFICATION
Corrections and updates are recorded separately
CORRECTION
A prior public factual statement was materially wrong or misleading
A correction record will identify the date, affected page or section, original wording, corrected wording, reason, and supporting primary source.
UPDATE
New information became available after publication
An update adds a substantive development when the earlier statement was accurate based on the information available at the time.
UPDATES
Publication record
Professional identity links updated
Editorial references now use the publicly listed professional name Jose Eduardo Capellan (Pilot, Flight Instructor, CFI/CFII/IGI) and link to the corresponding LinkedIn profile. Original evidence, quotations, source transcriptions, filenames, chronology, and the review rating remain unchanged.
Personal-name privacy update completed
My legal name was removed from the public September 3 email exhibits and the complete public site was checked for the same name. Editorial references identify me only as Dave. This privacy update does not change the underlying evidence, chronology, rating, or factual conclusions.
Redacted September 3 primary emails published
EX-023 and EX-024 now include inspectable, permanently redacted publication copies of the Houston FSDO email and Jose Eduardo Capellan (Pilot, Flight Instructor, CFI/CFII/IGI)'s response. Private contact information, unrelated metadata, the FAA signature-block continuation, and the quoted prior message in the response were omitted. The source email also verifies the accented spelling used in his signature; source records retain the spelling that appears in each original.
English and Spanish language architecture added
Spanish presentation pages, locale-aware navigation, localized route mappings, reciprocal language metadata, and automated translation-coverage checks were added. English remains the fallback language. Original evidence, source transcriptions, dates, invoice amounts, exhibit numbers, ratings, media, and factual relationships remain shared and unchanged.
Central consumer-review framing consolidated
The site's central framing was reorganized around professional integrity, billing accuracy, communication consistency, and accountability. Overlapping disclaimer language was consolidated, and every central disclaimer now identifies Jose Eduardo Capellan (Pilot, Flight Instructor, CFI/CFII/IGI) by full name. FAA, Garmin, aircraft-access, and other technical qualifications remain on their relevant pages but were removed from the central priority list. The underlying evidence, chronology, rating, and factual claims were not changed by this editorial reorganization.
Regulatory and source-consistency review completed
The site now distinguishes the inspector's still-unanswered follow-up from the substantive guidance in the cited McHenry Legal Interpretation. It also records the verified September 3 message times, adds an accessible summary of Jose Eduardo Capellan (Pilot, Flight Instructor, CFI/CFII/IGI)'s response, corrects evidence-to-timeline mappings, and publishes accuracy-corrected editorial transcripts while retaining the original media.
The response is summarized only as to the position he stated, the records he said he retained, his decision not to continue discussion through that correspondence, and his wish that I continue training successfully.
The regulatory-status page, timeline, evidence register, and related summaries were updated after an FAA Aviation Safety Inspector responded to the guidance request. The response clarified that I should not exercise solo privileges under the prior endorsement after the withdrawal was communicated and described possible logbook documentation.
Dedicated instructor record index added
A dedicated factual index was added for Jose Eduardo Capellan (Pilot, Flight Instructor, CFI/CFII/IGI). It consolidates existing chronology, documented positions, flight-data findings, limitations, and the standing right of reply without changing the underlying factual claims.
Corrections framework clarified
The public Corrections page now distinguishes private prepublication revisions from corrections to factual reporting made after publication. No substantive factual claim in the account changed as part of this update.
