I want to thank you for the excellent flight instruction I have received over the years from you. I thought our last
recurrent work was the best yet. I was astounded when, at the beginning, you asked me what I thought I needed. Then we addressed those areas. Thank you,
Barry Morris, Aerostar Owner

- as an instructor you will have an office with a view, above average pay and a great deal of fun!

authorized to recommend knowledge exams for sport pilot, recreational pilot and private pilot. The Advanced Ground Instructor is authorized to recommend all pilot knowledge exams.
Sport Instructor:The
Certified Sport Instructor is completed in 2 weeks of full-time training. The Sport Instructor is not required to possess either an instrument rating or a commercial pilot
