About Jim

Updated on: 11/17/2024

Being a highly experienced flight instructor allows me to teach quality flights and yet maintain a laid back demeanor that I feel is enjoyable to both instructor and student. With 12000+ hours of Total Time consisting of 6000+ Dual Given logged, I am able to teach thoroughly and efficiently. I have flown and taught in many aircraft but I specialize in the Cirrus Platform (SR20, SR22, SR22T, SF50).

Highlights

  • Gold Seal
  • ATP
  • CFI CFII

    I was in need of a quick and thorough Cirrus 22T transition course where I found Jim. His knowledge and expertise on the 22T is impeccable. Jim has quite a few hours in these airplanes and he took something that was seemingly over-saturated and made the airplane easier to fly and understand. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to take me through this course to make me feel as comfortable as I do now. Thank you so much Jim for your knowledge and professionalism!
