“Just had my first training with Alan. It was great, man I wish I found you guys before even getting started on flight training. Very patient and lets you see different options for doing things.“

“Alan is knowledgeable about the sim and that has been helpful to me in learning it better. Especially the shortcuts. The first session was mostly talking about communication, radios etc. which is important to me.”

About me
I am a US-based FAA-certified flight instructor with over 30 years of experience in general aviation airplanes, gliders, and simulators.
The value of flight simulation can be measured in many ways, either through the personal joy you get as just a hobbyist or the satisfaction you get through the transfer of a process into a real-world situation.
I enjoy being a part of the coaching outcome, as most educators should. Whether it’s just simulating a takeoff and landing or practicing the intricate dance between ATC, you, an approach flown to minimums with a G1000 avionics suite, and an EFB, I enjoy being a part of the outcome as much as the pilot in training!
Through simulation, we can better control your desired outcome and have fun at the same time.
