I believe in the beauty of flight—and in making your training experience enjoyable, not stressful. I want you to focus on learning and growing as a pilot, not worrying about billing. My rates are transparent but not rigid. If there’s room to offer you a better deal, I will. I'm a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, AGI) with training and endorsements across a wide range of specialties, including tailwheel, seaplane, high-performance, complex, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). I hold a Commercial ASEL certificate and have extensive experience instructing students from their first takeoff to their CFI checkride. I have aircraft access for instruction in Cessna 172s, 182s, and Piper PA-28s, and I’m open to traveling for the right students.

Pricing Notes

Checkouts are charged to the top of the hour that’s why the rate is lower. Flight reviews are mandatory length as required by the FAA. Pricing reflects time requirements and my desire to see you take back PIC time. I don’t believe in charging people when the airplane is not running. Pre-brief, flight planning, debriefing saves 30-45 minutes of billing every flight. Ground lessons are provided at absolutely no cost. Not to exceed 45 minutes per flight day.
