Options include operating from soft-fields (grass, sand, dirt, gravel, crop fields, etc) as well as off-airport operations. Courses are conducted within the capabilities and limitations of the aircraft and the operator.

Especially beneficial to many pilots is the "mock check ride", either oral only, flight portion only, or both, as final preparation for instrument and commercial ratings. Call for specific information concerning your desires.

Rate:  Billed hourly at $120 an hour. 

Aircraft Purchase Assistance

With over 45 years of experience purchasing aircraft, Chuck is available to assist you in determining the aircraft make and model that best suits your needs. Once that decision has been reached, he can assist you with finding, selecting, and inspecting “your” airplane.


1. Determine which specific aircraft meets your mission profile and desires

2. Review aircraft logs and advise you on any questions that arise, prepare a list of questions for the 

     seller to answer, and discuss with seller if you desire

3. Review the POH/AFM for all appropriate changes and supplements of optional equipment

4. Perform a visual inspection externally and internally for defects - in many cases it can be done with 

     photographs after advising the seller on the specific photographs desired

5. Discuss any aircraft damage issues with you and/or the seller 

6. Make you aware of common problems of various installed equipment and 

    modification

7. Be a sounding board for cost vs benefit of particular item

8. Utilizing a proprietary pre-buy Airborne flight checklist, actually test fly the airplane and determine 

     what is working correctly in the airplane and what is not working, including engine performance, 

     landing gear, flight controls, flats, and all optional installed equipment (such as supplemental lighting,   

     fuel tanks, and I systems etc.) and avionics 

9. Provide opinions relating to actual buying price after reviewing all of the above


Sometimes it is helpful to put a third party into the buying process, as he becomes your advocate and can question and negotiate on your behalf. You can still make the decisions, but you're purchasing advocate can take the tough questions to the seller and/or can give you the questions if you wish to negotiate directly without a buffer.


Rate: Billed hourly at $150 an hour 

What is Recurrent Training?

Proficiency, rather than hours logged, is a primary and essential ingredient in air safety. Many pilots seem to view recurrent training as a specific mandated training requirement such as a Flight Review (FAR 61.56), or the Instrument Proficiency Check (FAR 61.57d), and that is the only training they perform after receiving their last rating.

Routine flights do not prepare a pilot for unusual situations, whether they are unexpected crosswinds or systems/engine anomalies. Professional pilots receive regular recurrent training to include emergency procedures whether they fly as an astronaut, an airline pilot, a military pilot, a law enforcement pilot, an EMS, charter or corporate pilot. Some of their training is FAA mandated, some company mandated, and some is pilot requested. Professional pilots emphasize, and statistics show, demanding recurrent training is a vital factor in safe aircraft operations.

The professional pilots' periodic training is required to enhance their aviation knowledge and skills, train on new equipment or avionics, learn new and revised regulations and procedures, and ensure a certain level of proficiency is present. Most of these pilots receive training at least once every six months, certainly not at the twenty-four month interval allowed for a Flight Review.

Statistics affirm that the lowest fatal accident rate is coincident with those pilots undergoing regular recurrent training programs. If recurrent training is important to those who fly regularly, it makes sense that it is even more critical for those who don't. How much has your skill level deteriorated since you received your last rating or even the last time you flew? How does the combination of lack of proficiency in the aircraft with its avionics combined with uncertainty, fatigue, and emotional pressure weigh on the infrequent pilot? Acknowledging your own proficiency and knowledge limitations is as important as understanding the systems and limitations of your aircraft.

History has repeatedly shown that an accident is rarely a single overwhelming event but often a series of seemingly benign occurrences prior to or during the flight that conclude with a devastating end. This is the "chain of events" that the pilot just does not see because their proficiency level is so low.

Recurrent training can pay dividends for pilots by enhancing their knowledge, increasing their proficiency, reaffirming their confidence and, moreover, because a positive flight outcome can be more reasonably assured.

Recurrent training is so important that some insurance underwriters offer up to 7.5% premium credit for qualified annual recurrent training. The savings on insurance may even cover the costs of the proficiency training. A sure win for all!

Schedule a recurrent training session at least once a quarter so that you can keep your aviation knowledge and aeronautical skills at a level you can feel good about before you next take your family, friends, or business associates on a flight.
