About Me

I am a FAA Certified Ground Instructor-Advanced, Instrument Ground Instructor, and FAA Master Pilot. I can sign your log book and approve you for any FAA written tests.

I will come and work with you at your location, at your convenience, anywhere within a 50 mile radius of the Metro St. Louis, Mo area.

With over 50 years flying, I will teach more than just the questions and answers to the FAA test. This will prepare you for not only your flight lessons, but for flying when you are in the left front seat yourself.

If you are thinking about flying, I suggest you get your written test out of the way first. That way you can concentrate on the air work. Your certificate of passing is good for two years.

If you are already taking lessons, we will coordinate your ground school with your CFI so I will be teaching the ground school associated with your flight training.

As you will see in the following photos, I’m also an old Stick and Rudder, Tail Dragger Pilot. I can even teach you how to SAFELY prop an airplane.
