Stefan holds CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates plus advanced and instrument ground instructor ratings, so you never have to change instructors as you move up.
Flight instruction and ground instruction, same rate. No school markup, no membership fees, no minimum hours.
The most popular training airplane ever built. Stable, forgiving, and honest, with a standard six pack of instruments and a modern avionics stack.
Learning on classic gauges builds the fundamentals that transfer to any cockpit you fly later, glass or otherwise. See the panel.
The Cessna 172 students train in. Aircraft rental is arranged separately.
You learn on a standard six pack, the same instruments pilots have trained on for decades. Behind them sits a modern stack that keeps you connected and aware of everything around you.
The six pack: airspeed, heading, attitude, altimeter, turn coordinator, and vertical speed.
The stack: audio panel, two comms, and the Garmin GNX 375 showing traffic and weather.
Stefan takes maintenance seriously, and it shows in the airplane you train in. It is inspected and maintained by an FAA certificated mechanic on a regular schedule, every required inspection is kept current, and squawks get fixed, not deferred.
Before every flight you and Stefan walk the airplane together on a full preflight. If anything is not right, the lesson waits until it is. That is the standard you learn from day one, and the standard you carry into every airplane you fly after this one.
Aircraft rental is arranged separately.
1.5 hours including a briefing, preflight, and a flight over the beaches with you at the controls. $140, instructor included.
