Prepare for your checkride with personalized one-on-one instruction designed to meet your specific needs. I am an active Certified Flight Instructor (CFI​/​CFII), Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI), Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI). I have been a CFI​/​CFII for 24 years and served in the military as an instructor pilot and flight examiner giving checkrides. I have over 4900 hours of flight time and graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. My background includes a wide range of aircraft, from single-engine planes like the Cessna 172 and 182 to rotorcraft such as the Airbus AS365 (MH-65 Dolphin) helicopter. This diverse experience allows me to provide nuanced insights and practical tips that you won't find in standard textbooks. I’m committed to making sure you have a deep understanding of the knowledge required to become a competent and confident pilot. My teaching approach is centered on creating a comfortable learning environment where you can ask questions, engage with the material, and build the confidence needed to excel in your checkride. - Personalized Instruction: Each lesson is customized to focus on areas where you need the most help, whether it's theoretical knowledge or practical skills. - Real-World Insights: Learn from a seasoned pilot with hands-on experience in various aircraft, providing you with practical tips and real-world scenarios. - Comprehensive Prep: We’ll cover everything you need to know to pass your checkride with flying colors, from the Airmen Certification Standards (ACS) to mock oral exams that are tougher than the real thing. Let’s make sure you’re not just ready for your checkride but fully prepared to succeed. Book your session today and take the first step toward becoming the pilot you’ve always wanted to be! - **Important Note from Skyfarer Academy** We recommend giving our instructors at least 24 hours to prepare for your session.
