Certified Flight Instructor
Sergio
Sergio is the primary instructor for students starting out, and flies most of the private pilot training at the school. That also covers the discovery flights people take before deciding, and the flight reviews and recurrent training that bring rated pilots back to currency.
Primary Student Instructor
The instructor most students at this school actually fly with.
Sergio is a certified flight instructor and the school's primary instructor for new students. If you are starting from nothing, this is very likely the person who will teach you.
The same instructor also flies discovery flights, flight reviews and recurrent training — so the person who takes you up on your first flight is the person who can take you through the certificate afterwards.
Both instructorsWhat Sergio Teaches
Private pilot training, discovery flights, flight reviews and recurrent training.
Private pilot training
From a first lesson through to the private pilot checkride — the certificate most people at this school are working toward.
Private pilot trainingDiscovery flights
The introductory flight where you sit up front and take the controls, before you have committed to anything at all.
Discovery flightsFlight reviews and recurrent training
The FAA flight review every pilot needs, and the recurrent work that gets somebody who has been out of the aeroplane for a while comfortable in it again.
Flight lessons by the hourHow Sergio Runs A Lesson
Plan the flight on the ground so the flight itself is quiet.
An hour in the aircraft costs $110, and an hour spent working out in the air what could have been worked out at a table is the most expensive way to learn anything. The quiet flight is the one where both people already know what is about to happen.
How a lesson is structured, start to finishStarting from nothing
Most of the students here have never flown a small aeroplane before, and the first lessons are built for that: the briefing comes first, the aircraft second, and nothing happens in the air that has not been explained on the ground.
