I offer the following kinds of training: Flight instruction for Sport, Recreational, Private, and Commercial Pilot Certificates, with training available in a variety of Single Engine Land and Sea aircraft—including complex and high-performance models. I also provide aircraft familiarization for new owners looking to get comfortable with a specific make or model. "Ground" pilot instruction towards an Instrument Rating in addition to all of the above. Mock Checkrides and Mock Oral exams for each of the above. I currently have a 100% pass rate for applicants who conducted Mock Checkrides and Mock Oral Exams with me.
