I booked some time with Tom, because my Instrument Currency has lapsed, and I want to arrive at my upcoming IPC prepared. Tom and I went through what an IPC is, and as requested, he spent some time probing me with some questions to help assess my readiness. It was just what I was looking for, plus I got to hear a story of a real-life NORDO experience from him!

Tom was very professional and gave me some great advice regarding brushing up on some of my rusty pilot knowledge. We had a great conversation and I highly recommend Tom for your aviation needs.

Tom helped me figure out the next steps in my aviation journey. I reached out to him for guidance, and he provided clear and practical advice on how to prepare for both high-performance and complex endorsements. He broke down the process for each one, and ensured I knew exactly what to expect. Tom also took the time to explain what it's like to pursue an instrument rating and gave me a solid understanding of what's involved.

About
I became a pilot in 1993 and Aviation has been my career ever since. I began as a flight instructor for a major university while seeking my bachelors degree before being accepted to the US Navy. There, I flew and began instructing in tactical jets for nearly 20 years. In my off time I enjoyed being a freelance flight instructor at the local airfield. I learned so much about flight instruction during this period of my life. After the Navy I did a short stint with a Part 135 operation before being hired at a major Airline which is what I currently do for employment. I reside in the Pacific Northwest and own a 1978 Cessna U206G which I try to regularly fly.
