CFI​/​CFII | 10+ Years in Aviation | Ground & Flight Instruction for PPL, IR, and CPL Hello there! My name is Skylar, and I’ve been immersed in the aviation world for over 10 years. I started flying about five years ago and never looked back—earning all my certificates from Private to CFII after attending a full-time flight school in Arizona. I’m a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI​/​CFII) currently working full-time at a flight school in Rhode Island, and now I’m offering independent instruction for those who prefer to train outside a formal school setting. Whether you're just starting with your Private Pilot License (PPL), preparing for your Instrument Rating, or working toward your Commercial Certificate, I’d love to help guide you through the process. I also offer ground instruction, including concept reviews, written test prep, and checkride readiness—tailored to your goals and learning style. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than helping the next generation of pilots become safe, competent aviators—and having fun while doing it. I know every student is different, so I take pride in customizing each training experience. If you're based in Rhode Island or nearby and looking for a friendly, knowledgeable instructor to support your journey, I’d love to connect. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to chat about your training goals!
