Flight Instructor CFI at KLOU, KSDF
I’m BJ—an airline pilot and instructor who believes good training starts with trust. I’ve spent my career in real airplanes, real weather, and real decision-making, not just checkride prep. I teach with the mindset that competence matters more than box-checking, and judgment matters more than memorization. If you train with me, you’ll get honest feedback, clear standards, and instruction grounded in how aviation works—not just how it looks in a textbook. Please reach out to arrange a time for an appointment.
