Hourly instruction rate: $ 60 Special: Introductory Flight Lesson for $195! Ratings held: I hold a Commercial Pilot License with Multiengine and Instrument Ratings. Additionally I have an SIC Type Rating in the CL65 (Canadair Regional Jet). I am a FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII/MEI) qualified to teach Private Pilot, Commercial, Instrument, ATP, and CFI students in both Single and Multi-Engine Land Airplanes.
May instruct in these aircraft types: *Checkpilot Do you tend to favor PAO, SQL, HWD or E16, and how might it affect a student's ability to schedule time? I fly primarily out of San Carlos and Palo Alto. I can commute easily to either location. Please allow 30 minutes between scheduled flights at different airports. How would you describe your availability in general? I am available 7 days a week, from 7am to 7pm. Typically, our lessons will run 3 hrs, and I have my students schedule their preferred days and slots a month in advance. When scheduling please select one of the following times:
7:00am to 10:00am What method of ground school do you prefer and how does it relate to your syllabus? Everyone learns differently. If time allows, I would recommend attending a formal ground school offered by the club. If you don't have time for ground school or study better on your own, I recommend the Pilot DVD Ground School available from MS Aviation.
I use the ASA Syllabus for Private Pilots and the Instrument Rating. I recommend you get a copy of the Airplane Flying Handbook and the Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Here's a link to my website where you can download the FREE PDF version of the FAA Handbooks. What is your favorite aircraft to instruct in? I love flying any airplane, and the great thing about the club is that we have so many different makes and models to choose from! That being said, every once in a while I get to fly the T34 and that's a real kick!. I hope to teach in tailwheel aircraft someday. What are your aircraft recommendations for a new student? If you are new to flying, I would recommend a C152 (inexpensive), a C172 (old or new), or a Piper Warrior or Archer. These are all great training airplanes. What percentage of your students pass their checkride on the first try? 100% |
