Work Experience
Flight Instructor
Central Iowa Air Service - March 28, 2025 I am a flight instructor at Central Iowa Air Service in Ames, IA. With PPL, IR, and CPL, I have a 90% pass rate. We primarily fly Piper Warriors and Archers, but I have my tailwheel and high performance endorsement to tend to the needs of hangar tenants that would like further training for flight reviews.
Highlights
CFI Checkride
December 3, 2024 Passed CFI on the first attempt. The check ride had been postponed multiple times due to winter weather until it finally landed on a good day. The check ride itself was split into 2 days as winter weather came in on the first day as well. I was able to do it in my hometown, so I was fortunate enough to stay with family overnight. The next day was perfect and I was able to do such a good job that the examiner offered a job referral for any of my instructor applications.
