The Pilot Academy

"I came in for my Instrument Proficiency Check after not flying hard IFR for over a year. The ground review was incredibly thorough, and the scenario-based flight really knocked the rust off. I left feeling more confident and safer than I have in years. Highly recommend!"

"The spin training for my CFI requirement was phenomenal. I was admittedly a bit nervous beforehand, but the ground instruction made the aerodynamics make total sense. By the time we were doing fully developed spins in the air, I felt completely in control. A must-do for any pilot, not just CFI candidates."

"Transitioning to a high-performance, complex aircraft seemed daunting, but the instruction I received broke everything down into manageable steps. The focus on engine management and staying ahead of the airplane was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable in my new plane."

"Travis has been phenomenal instructing me to fly. He was my CFI during my first hour, and 50 flight hours later, I'd stick with him for every certification he could teach me. He's highly qualified and very friendly. He has a lot of good resources, and he's earned every dollar I've spent to learn from him."

Travis is an outstanding CFI who tailored my training to the way I learn best. From day one, he has me flying instead of spending unnecessary time watching or sitting through long ground lessons. He kept my training efficient by combining syllabus objectives, providing study materials and feedback between flights and enabling me to push myself to reach my goals. The scheduling was flexible, communication was great, and every lesson had a purpose. Thanks to his approach, I progressed quickly, saved time and money, and had a great experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality flight instruction.
