Meet John
FAA Designated Pilot Examiner
Whether this is the first step in your aviation career or your retirement hobby, becoming a pilot is a great accomplishment. I understand the amount of time, effort, and money you have put into your preparation. It is my pleasure to play a part in that journey. Your practical exam is just another flight!
I am a professional pilot but still keep deep roots in general aviation flying. I have been fortunate to meet many great people throughout my aviation career. This has lead to countless hours and experiences to form the pilot I am today.
Let's go fly!

Sid Carver, Private ASEL
It was clear that he also went into it assuming that I was capable of operating at the private pilot level, as opposed to feeling like I needed to prove myself.

Incredibly easy to schedule and work with. Responses were in a timely manner. John did not add any extra stress to the day.

The day was relaxed and organized. I appreciated how John explained everything out and I knew what was expected of me.
