AMERICAN FLYERS SPOTLIGHT

My favorite part of training new pilots is witnessing their breakthrough moments during their training when things just start to click for them. Seeing students gain understanding and confidence is a fun experience to share with them. I love being a part of the American Flyers team because of my peers. I could not ask for a better group of people to work with. My ultimate goals in aviation are to meet ATP minimum to one day fly commercially and to join the Phoenix Air National Guard.

Working for American Flyers is truly amazing because of my fantastic team. I enjoy collaborating with instructors who genuinely get along and are dedicated to ensuring our students’ success in their flight training programs. The best part of training new pilots is witnessing their enthusiasm; it reminds me of my own training experience. My aviation dream is to fly wide-body aircraft for a legacy carrier. I’m currently building hours toward eligibility for ATP certification, and I’m excited for what the future holds

My favorite part of training new pilots is witnessing that ‘lightbulb’ moment when a concept clicks. I love seeing their growth and watching them reap the rewards of their hard work. My goal in aviation is to travel far and wide; I love the freedom of being in the air and exploring new destinations. My next step is to earn my MEI certification and enhance my proficiency in various aircraft. The best part of working for American Flyers is my amazing team members.

I love working for American Flyers because of the balance of professionalism and a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Training new pilots is rewarding, especially watching them grow into safe aviators. I recently earned my MEI and am now focused on my ATP. My long-term goal in aviation is to become a widebody airline captain and possibly a DPE. As a husband and father of three, aviation is a passion I hope to share with my family for years to come.

My goal in aviation is to fly for the Air National Guard or the Reserves while also pursuing a career in Commercial Aviation. This year I plan on earning my tailwheel endorsement. I love training new pilots and witnessing the excitement on their faces when something finally clicks. The most rewarding part is investing in motivated students who are laser-focused on becoming the best pilots they can be. Working at American Flyers is truly amazing, especially because of the wonderful people I get to work with.

One of my favorite parts of training new pilots is seeing the excitement on their faces when they make the connection on a topic they didn’t understand before. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them apply what they’ve learned and truly grasp the concepts. I’m currently working toward my multi-engine rating with the ultimate goal of flying a trip with my dad at United Airlines before he retires. I love being a part of the amazing team at American Flyers because I can always count on my fellow instructors for help and support whenever I have questions.

My goal in aviation is simple: never lose my love for flying, so it never feels like work. One of the highlights of training new pilots is seeing a Commercial student stick a power-off 180 in challenging winds… it never gets old. My favorite part of working at American Flyers is the team. We’ve built a culture where everyone looks out for one another and goes the extra mile for our students.
