Hello and welcome! If you have reached this website, you are looking to take the next step in your aviation career and/or path.  I am so pleased that you are allowing me to be a part of this. I have a passion for aviation and a passion for flight instructing. I was born and raised in northern California, but my aviation career has allowed me to experience flying in many different parts of the country as well as be a part of several different types of flight training.  I am excited to share in the joy that a new certificate or rating brings to an applicant as they attempt to further their aviation experience.  I thank you in advanced for allowing me to be a part of this.    

Fees: 

My primary location to conduct checkrides will be Decatur Airport in Decatur, TX.  A $75.00 fee will also be included if a paper application is required to be filed. All applicants should be using the IACRA website to file their application for checkride. A non refundable $100.00 fee will be collected during scheduling of the exam. This fee will then be used towards the final fee listed below. This fee ensures that the applicant will not cancel less than 48 hours prior to the exam and it holds that date. If the applicant needs to reschedule they will be put on a waitlist and scheduled when an open slot comes available. Examination time slots are hard to come by this is why it is crucial you prepare for the date you select when scheduling. If a date is cancelled the deposit is forfeited.
