Thanks Dani. We can't wait to have you back here as well. It takes one patient instructor to recognize another. Thanks again doctor.
*Update: 12/30/2018. I took on a student this month that had been flying with a different instructor for a few months now. I noticed that he wasn’t understanding me when I talked of basic aerodynamics, such as left turning and adverse yaw. Our next lesson was devoted to ground training going over the basics. He had heard them before, but didn’t understand. Thanks to my training at CFI Academy, I knew how to explain the “Why” of flight, and have been since I started teaching. Thanks Prince!* I had been looking for a long time... read more

“I did a lot of research when it came to finding the right flight school for me to finish my CFI ratings. I was looking for something accelerated, efficiency, and economical. I came across the CFI Academy and right away I knew this was going to be the place for me. I flew over 3,000 miles to make it to CFI Academy, but the journey was worth it. Prince is the best instructor I have ever had. His knowledge, patience, and flexibility are some of the many attributes that I will strive towards in my instructing career. I'm glad t... read more

He Denny ...thanks!! I still gotta come visit you, soon! Stay in touch.
During the past few days after I passed my CFI Check Ride, I still could not believe it has happened - short story. I spent two and a half weeks at CFI Academy. Coming from a Part 141 environment, it took me a while to get used to the casual environment with a group of highly motivated self-starters, and of course, with the supervision of one of the MOST knowledgeable CFIs I’ve ever worked with - Prince. Even though the atmosphere is casual, the materials are not. A lot of great information was made available to us to prep ... read more

Prince is one of the most knowledgeable instructors I have ever met. He took some of the bad habits old instructors instilled in me and broke them off of me. It was great working with him.
