Hello, I'm Ryan K..

Well hello there! I'm a flight instructor in the Ozarks​/​Midwest. I teach college students ground classes for a Part 141 Aviation program​,​ as well as offering independent instruction in my area in multiple aircraft. I grew up thinking aviation was only for the super-rich and had no family members in aviation. Imagine my surprise when I found out how easy​/​awesome it is to get a pilot's license! I absolutely love flying​,​ and everything that comes along with it. You'll find that flight is the most fun & rewarding thing you've ever done​,​ despite all the hard work needed to get into it! I have a background in mechanical​/​technical repair industries so I'm great with help on systems knowledge - and I have a background as a sailor - which helps in understanding weather and aerodynamics. I'm also familiar with the struggles students can have with a lack of ground instruction​,​ so I'm happy to help! My specialty locally is in assisting students who have had unusually long primary training get finished up. I also help with students who've had to take a break​,​ and are ready to 'get back in the saddle' again. I have experience in delivering​/​repositioning aircraft​,​ and assisting new owners fly their airplanes home; as well as helping students plan for a 'new to them' aircraft purchase. If you'd like help with anything - please​,​ reach out!
