Pilot Flight Training in Orlando, Florida - CFI,CFII
I'm an enthusiastic and motivated flight instructor (CFI, CFII) who is passionate about helping other aviators improve and achieve their flying goals. Whether you're a student pilot taking your first steps toward a license or a veteran who wants to brush up or return to the skies, I can help. I'm currently located in Sanford, Florida but have flown in most other parts of the state. I did extensive training out of Melbourne so I'm very familiar with Space Coast airspace. I'm willing to travel and negotiate rates as needed. I owned a Piper Cherokee for four years so I can provide transition training if needed. As a former (and future) aircraft owner I'm also comfortable training in your own aircraft provided I have experience in the airframe. If you want to learn more about how I can help meet your specific needs I encourage you to take advantage of a free 30 minute discovery call. I look forward to working with you!
