Why Fly with Rich?
I've been a pilot since 2002 and an instructor since 2005. I started instructing at a flight school in Florida with the intention of going to the airlines, but I found I enjoyed instructing and helping people realize their dream of flying.
So far, I have given 2,500 hours of flight instruction, and recommended people for more than 50 FAA checkrides.
I also keep in mind that flying costs time and money. My training courses are designed to give you the training you need without wasting a bunch of time. Although the average person uses more than the minimum time required by the FAA, the goal is to get the most training for the least amount of time and money as practical.
