My approach is scenario-based, standards-driven, and focused on real-world decision making — not just passing a checkride.

About
My name is Cody Ortmann! I’m a CFI, CFII, and MEI with over 1,500 hours of total flight time and more than 1,200 hours of dual instruction given. I’ve worked with students from their very first lesson through advanced certificates and multi-engine training, helping them build strong fundamentals and real-world decision-making skills. My goal is simple: develop safe, confident, and competent pilots who are prepared not just for checkrides, but for a lifetime of flying. I have access to well-maintained Diamond DA40 aircraft at KMHR that are rented through FL510 and also offer instruction in owner-provided aircraft throughout the greater Sacramento region. Let’s build your skills the right way — from day one.
