Ian (CFI,CFII, MEI)
With over a decade of professional aviation experience across corporate, charter, and airline operations, I bring a structured yet approachable style to flight instruction. As a Captain, Instructor-Evaluator, Curriculum Developer, and former Beechcraft Pilot Proficiency Program (BPPP) instructor, I combine real-world experience with effective teaching tailored to each pilot’s goals and skill level. I enjoy working with both career-oriented pilots and hobbyists—whether it’s refining instrument technique, mastering advanced avionics, or building confidence in cross-country flying. My instruction emphasizes safety, judgment, and a deep understanding of the “why” behind every maneuver. Beyond instruction, I’m also involved in aircraft sales and management, helping owners navigate acquisition, ownership, and operational efficiency with confidence. My goal is to support every aviator—whether you’re pursuing a career or simply flying for the joy of it—in developing lasting proficiency and a genuine love for aviation. ***Please inquire about availability***
