I worked at FlightGest from 2016-2018. I am now a First Officer for PSA Airlines, a regional subsidiary of American Airlines. I really enjoyed instructing at FlightGest. When I started I became part of a lifelong FlightGest family. One of my favorite memories was my first student who soloed. I don’t know who was more nervous! Another memorable experience was flying with another CFI Philip Paul-Wilson, to see the solar eclipse. The best advice I can give new students is don’t get frustrated when you reach a training plateau. This is normal and very common. Take a fun flight to the coast for lunch with your instructor. You won’t regret it! I promise! |

After serving in the US Marine Corps as an AH-1W Cobra pilot, I came to FlightGest to obtain my Flight Instructor rating. I was the unofficial helicopter transition instructor for military helicopter guys getting their fixed wing ratings. I'm currently in training to be a First Officer at Air Wisconsin Airlines (United Express). My biggest piece of advice is to not fly on Friday afternoons because the airport is too busy (haha). |

I completed my flight instructor training at FlightGest in 2016, and after experiencing the individualized training that FlightGest offers I was eager to join the team. As an instructor it was extremely rewarding not only flying a diverse fleet but also teaching people from all walks of life, whether it was high school students eager to become airline pilots or retirees who have always had a passion for aviation. My favorite memories were always the $100 burger flights, food just tastes better when you've flown for it. I am currently in training to be a first officer for PSA Airlines. My biggest piece of advice for new students is to not be intimidated by how busy ATC can be, radio communications are like a foreign language that require practice, practice, practice! Fly safe! |
