I have had a passion for flying airplanes for most of my life, and started actually taking lessons in 1993. I did my primary and instrument training in Palo Alto, California and dealing with complex airspace, busy ATC and terrain quickly became second nature to my flying. I have been on the board of a flying club for the last 10+ years and have been instructing since early 2018. I love flying with others and seeing the skills of the pilots I train improve. - [Learn to Fly] Want to become a pilot or aircraft owner? Ready for your next rating?

Pricing Notes

My goal is to help you learn and meet your goals in the most efficient and cost effective manner and will look for the best combination of ground and flight instruction time. Most flying lesson will include some ground instruction, which makes the flight portion more productive. I encourage use of a home flight simulator to support your learning and to stay current. I will help you get set up your simulator at ground instructor rates and will give you suggested exercises along with our curriculum.I will charge travel time only in excess of 30 minute each way (none for KLHM, KAUN, KMCC).
