Flight reviews for aircraft owners
I have given more than 4500 hour of instruction. I believe a flight review should be an enjoyable learning experience, especially if your aeronautical knowledge is a little “rusty” or you haven’t been flying regularly. I can also help you gain a better understanding of airspace, ATC communications, and modern avionics systems.
Help navigating your initial CFI check ride.
- How to avoid common CFI mistakes in your first 20-hours of dual pilot training.
- CFI business tips and practices so you don’t sell yourself or your customer short.
- Are there any bad customers? When to know it’s time to walk away.
I provide both one-to-one in-person and virtual training and mentoring sessions for aspiring CFIs and newly minted instructors.
