Flight Instruction

I have been flying for over 30 years, and have been a flight instructor for 22 years. I provide basic and advanced instruction in a variety of types of aircraft.

Philosophy

I think a good flight instructor needs the following qualities:

  • Good Attitude

  • Attention to Safety

  • Aeronautical and Regulatory Knowledge

  • Interest in Teaching

  • Patience

Patience is a lot more important than many people realize. From personal experience (on the receiving end), I can tell you that having an impatient instructor can really negate the learning process.

I believe that an instructor should never become angry at mistakes that students make.

Primary Flight Instruction

Of all the instruction, I love primary instruction the most because of the excitement of seeing a student progress from no flight experience, through solo, to private. I am reminded of my own excitement of those accomplishments over 25 years ago. I enjoy facilitating and watching somebody else's dream of flight become real.
