Hello, I'm Eric C.

My Aviation Journey ​I started flying at age 15 and soloed at age 16. After over two decades of flight instructing in mostly single-engine Cessnas as a hobby​,​ in 2022​,​ I retired from full-time ministry and returned to aviation. Destinations where I have flown I accepted a First Officer position with a Part 135 Air Carrier that offered a Second in Command (SIC) training program leading to my Second-in-Command Type Rating in the Embraer 505 Phenom 300 turbojet​,​ as well as a position as First Officer. After flying in this role for one year​,​ in 2023 I completed pilot upgrade training in Dallas​,​ TX​,​ where I earned my Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and Pilot in Command (PIC) Type Rating in the Embraer Phenom 300 (light jet). After upgrade to Captain and honing my PIC skills​,​ another transition was forthcoming. In 2024​,​ I left the charter company so we might move closer to my wife's mother and thus​,​ I returned to my love of teaching joining the team at a large​,​ international professional pilot training center in Savannah as a Pilot Instructor. In Jan 2025​,​ I completed the PIC initial type rating in the Gulfstream G-280 (super mid-size jet) and now I teach simulator and ground school for other pilots seeking the same rating​,​ completing recurrent training​,​ or seeking specialized training programs.
