EcoFlight currently has three FAA Certified Flight Instructors sharing the following characteristics:
- A minimum of 5000 hours of flight experience: Unlike some US flight schools employing young but inexperienced instructors eager to «build time» towards becoming an airline pilot at the student’s expense and detriment, EcoFlight employs seasoned and dedicated instructors with a passion for teaching.
- An emphasis on the safety of operations: Inspired by the operational requirements and procedures of commercial air operators, EcoFlight Training, a subsidiary of a certified maintenance operation, ranks airworthiness and respect for procedures as its prime concerns.
- Scheduling flexibility: To reach your objectives quicker, we strive to match your timetable and priorities.
- Special areas of interest: Each of our instructors brings an extra focus of experience in specific flight domains i.e.:
--> Aerobatics and mountain flying
--> Multi-engine and jet operations
--> Environmental / ecological moderation
--> Long-range single-engine IFR travel
