Personalized Flight Training • Clear Pricing • No Hidden Fees • Las Vegas
Flight training shouldn't be complicated. Whether you're starting from day one or got stuck at a big academy, I provide straightforward, dedicated instruction in my Cessna 172. You get my full attention, transparent pricing, and a schedule that actually fits your life.
Minimum 40 hours required. Must be 17 or older and able to read, speak, and understand English. You will need a Third Class Medical certificate before your first solo.
Timeline: Typically 8–12 weeks at 2–3 flights per week
*Aircraft rates are "wet" (fuel included). Based on current local 100LL full-service price of $7.59/gal — rates subject to change with fuel prices. No hidden fees. The price on this page is what you pay.
We skip the crowded lobbies and rotating instructor rosters. It's just you, me, and the airplane. We train on your schedule, and I'm in the right seat every single time.
At big schools, you may fly with four or five different instructors before you solo. Each one starts over figuring out where you left off. That wastes your time and your money. With me, there's no handoff. I know what you need next because I taught you last time.
Every cost is on this page: aircraft, instructor, insurance, exams, examiner fees. No mandatory ground school packages. No surprise charges. No admin fees.
Most of my students work full-time and fly 2–3 times a week — early mornings or weekends. There's no academy schedule that demands five days a week. You tell me what works, and we plan around that.
Las Vegas gets over 300 flyable days a year. Fewer weather cancellations, faster progress.

Certified Flight Instructor — Instrument (CFII)
Every lesson has a plan, and every flight has a purpose. My goal isn't just to help you pass a checkride—it's to make you a safe, decisive pilot. I'm calm, I shoot straight, and I respect your time and your budget.
Once you have your Private Pilot certificate, here's what comes next. Same aircraft, same instructor, same straightforward pricing.

Big schools assign you to whoever is available, which means you waste time and money repeating yourself. With me, you get the same instructor every single time. We pick up exactly where we left off. No handoffs, no wasted money.
Yes. Everything is listed: aircraft, instructor, insurance, and exam fees. The only variable is fuel (100LL), and I'll let you know if the wet rate needs to adjust. No mandatory packages, no admin fees, no surprises.
It's a standard physical exam by an FAA-authorized doctor confirming you're fit to fly. You need it before your first solo. Most people pass without issue. Check FAA.gov for the details.
Absolutely. Most of my students do. We usually fly 2–3 times a week during early mornings or weekends. At that pace, you'll be checkride-ready in 8–12 weeks. Your training fits your schedule, not mine.
