With years of operational and instructional experience, I specialize in helping Part 135 operators develop pilots who are prepared not only to pass evaluations, but to perform safely in real-world operations.

My background includes expertise in:

• Initial, recurrent, upgrade, and transition training
• Part 135 qualification standards and checking requirements
• IFR Pilot-in-Command qualification and experience requirements
• Written, oral, and practical evaluation preparation
• Competency checks and proficiency evaluations
• Crew resource management and operational decision making
• Single-pilot IFR operations
• Operating experience (OE) and qualification curriculum development
• FAA-compliant training program guidance

As a current Check Airman and instructor, I focus on developing professional pilots who understand not just how to fly an aircraft, but why procedures, standards, and sound judgment matter. My training emphasizes safety, professionalism, regulatory compliance, and real-world operational decision making.

Whether you’re preparing for a Part 135 competency check, upgrading to PIC, transitioning into turbine aircraft, or looking to strengthen your company’s training program, I provide practical instruction built on current FAA guidance and years of operational experience.
