Number: 501-463-2471 Email: Spencerj1008@gmail.com Looking for a CFI in the Dallas area? Whether you're just starting your aviation journey or need that final push to earn your next rating, I’m here to help. I provide personalized flight instruction out of KGKY (Arlington Municipal Airport), flying a Cessna 172. Instructor rates start at $50​/​hr, with aircraft rental available from $100–160​/​hr wet, depending on the aircraft. My background is a little different—I came from the world of sales and customer service, running a successful concrete coatings business. But something about aviation kept calling me back. After a series of unexpected nudges—from friends, customers, and life itself—I made the leap, left the business world behind, and followed my dream to become a pilot and instructor. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Now, I focus on making flight training fun, structured, and confidence-building. My goal is to help you develop not just the technical skills to pass a checkride, but the mindset of a safe, thoughtful, and professional pilot. Whether you're working toward your Private Pilot Certificate or advancing your training, I’m committed to helping you build a strong foundation for a lifetime in aviation. Let’s connect and get you flying. Feel free to reach out with questions or to book your first session.
