Client Feedback

” Rick is an excellent aviation and flight training professional with a warm and likeable personality. My son and I worked with him to pass written, oral and practical tests through ATPL level. Rick combines extensive and in-depth knowledge of all relevant materials with excellent teaching skills. Upon completion we felt truly enriched by our achievements and made a friend in the process.”

“It was a pleasure training with (Joe)! I appreciate your thorough knowledge of the TBM. Not only was the training program professional but also customizable to fit my busy schedule. I felt as though no time was wasted. As a sixteen year Major Airline Pilot I have been through many training events. I can honestly say my Initial training event with you on the TBM was outstanding!! “

“Rick, Not only did I learn a thing or two, you got me out of my comfort zone. I have never blown the cabin and made a 4000 +ft/ min descent while wearing the O2 mask. I’ve always been scared to even touch the MOR lever, much less land the aircraft using it solely. I feel confident that in an emergency, I would be proficient in both now. Although, I’ve done these activities in the Sim, nothing can compare with actually doing it. Having you in my plane, did a lot more than flying an expensive video game.”
