Flight Instructor (Retired airline pilot)
I have been flying since May 1969 and just recently retired from the international airlines and the Part 135 charter world. My background in aviation includes all aspects of working for the airlines. Previous career includes four airline start-ups, flight operations, dispatcher, flight engineer, first officer, captain, and aircraft maintenance technician. Experience counts, safety is critical to aviation. Learn it right the first time, keep the knowledge for a lifetime of flying.

About the instructor
As a flight instructor my primary duty is to train aspiring pilots in the knowledge and skills needed for safe and effective aircraft operation. This involves both ground instruction on aviation theory and in-flight training, focusing on practical skills and safety procedures. I also evaluate student performance, prepare them for exams, and ensure adherence to aviation regulations. I flew for the airlines for 47 years and will train you in a professional manner so you can easily step into that position as an airline pilot. In July, I received the FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award for 50 years of safe flying.
