Take Your Flying to the Next (Flight) Level

Train Beyond the Checkride with JFO Aviation

VISION

Learn From An Instructor Incentivizied to Ensure Your Success

As a pilot (in training) for a major air carrier, I instruct not because I need money or flight time but rather because I want to mentor fellow pilots and new aviators alike to be safe, knowledgeable, and proficient. My job is to ensure not only your checkride, flight review, or IPC success but also to give you the tools to stay safe in whatever situation you encounter.

Flight Training In Chicago

I am local to the Chicago area and have flown at each area airport. I am happy to offer flight instruction in your airplane and at your airport. View my experience to see whether I meet the insurance requirements to fly your aircraft.

Primary Flight Training

If you are starting, continuing, or finishing training towards your Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, or Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings, I am eager to guide you through the process. Whether you are just getting started or you want to advance to the next level, I am happy to help you reach your goals.

Advanced Ratings

Too often, pilots reach their training goal and plateau. I encourage even recreational pilots to consider getting higher ratings to challenge themselves, expand their knowledge, and grow their skills.

​

I have held my CFI certificate for 2+ years and am qualified to provide ground and flight instruction towards an initial or add-on flight instructor certificate. If you would like to advance your knowledge and skill to a professional level, I am happy to discuss a course of training to get you on your way.​

Proficiency & Recurrent Training

Need a Biennual Flight Review (BFR) or Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC)? Want a flight instructor along for a challenging flight? Let's discuss your plans and needs.
