Flight Instruction

[Derivatives] [Flight Instruction] [Schedule Flight Instruction] [Recreation] [Flight Links]

I hold an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate with multi-engine privileges and a commercial certificate with single engine privileges. My flight instructor certificate includes the following ratings:

• CFI - Certified flight instructor, single-engine.
• MEI - Certified flight instructor, multi-engine.
• CFII - Instrument instructor.

Typical services:

• Flight review (biannual) or general proficiency.
• Instrument training (demo, evaluation, training to rating, ongoing proficiency, or IPC).
• TAA with 430W and Avidyne equipment (e.g. Cirrus, Mooney, Piper).
• TAA with G1000 and AFCS.
• Complex or high-performance endorsements.
• Aircraft checkout and transition training (current focus Grumman and Mooney).
• AYA sanctioned Pilot Familiarization Program (PFP) instruction for Grumman aircraft.
• Stage checks.

Discounted or Free Services (on case-by-case basis with initial flights to be made day/VFR):

• Angel Flight (Angel/Grace Flight South Central, Angel Flight of Oklahoma, and Veterans Airlift Command). I'm second pilot, backup pilot, or logistics support. To assure the best ride for the patient, we fly together one or more times prior to the mission to learn your aircraft systems and develop CRM. No charge for Angel Flight missions or the preparatory flying.
• Multi-engine proficiency and initial operating experience (after you get a rating and checkout with someone experienced in your type). As a recent ATP, sitting right seat in twins and sitting backseat during your instruction can be good experience for me.
• Cross-country and scenario training if the destination and/or aircraft is of interest (e.g. Glasair II/III, Lancair, Cirrus, Columbia, turboprop, twin).
