Welcome to Tailwind! I’m a highly experienced and certified flight instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI) dedicated to providing quality flight training in the Long Beach (KLGB), Chino (KCNO), and Santa Ana (KSNA) areas.
Whether you’re taking your first steps towards becoming a pilot or looking to enhance your ratings, I offer personalized instruction tailored to your goals and learning style.
Services Offered
- Private Pilot License (PPL): Learn the fundamentals of flight in Cessna 172/Piper PA-28 aircraft (both traditional “six-pack” and modern G1000 avionics).
- Instrument Rating (IR): Master the skills and procedures for flying in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
- Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI): Train to become a multi-engine pilot in the Beechcraft BE76 Duchess.

Exciting New Service: Affordable Multi-Engine Time Building! Looking to build valuable multi-engine flight hours without breaking the bank? I now offer affordable multi-engine time building opportunities in the Beechcraft BE76 Duchess!
Here’s what makes this service stand out:
- Cost-Effective: Maximize your flight time investment with competitive rates for multi-engine time building. I understand it can be difficult to find affordable multi-engine time building opportunities. Many pilots struggle to find partners or suitable aircraft for rent.
- Dual Instruction Included: Unlike purely renting an aircraft, you’ll have the benefit of a Certified Flight Instructor (MEI) onboard. This means you can log dual received for every hour flown, enhancing your skills and experience under guidance. I ensure meticulous and accurate logbook entries that document the training, maneuvers, and conditions of each flight. This thoroughness provides “bulletproof” documentation, giving you confidence that your logbook will withstand scrutiny during any future airline audit.
- Night and Cross-Country Experience: Take advantage of opportunities to gain valuable experience in night flying and cross-country procedures.
- Flexible Scheduling: I specialize in accommodating your busy schedule with availability for night and weekend time building.
- Beechcraft BE76 Duchess: Build your hours in a well-maintained and capable twin-engine aircraft.
- Reduced Costs: I also understand that aircraft rental can be expensive. With my program, you don’t have to pay an instructor fee, and in many cases, you’ll pay a reduced rental rate compared to renting the aircraft on your own.
- MEI Signed Logbook: The cost of building multi-engine time with me is comparable to splitting costs with another ME pilot. However, as an MEI, I provide the added benefit of signing your logbook, which is crucial for verifying your experience. I prioritize meticulous and accurate logbook entries, ensuring they are “bulletproof” and will withstand scrutiny during any future airline audit, so you don’t need to worry about your multi-engine time being questioned during 121 airline logbook audit.
Perfect for:
- Pilots working towards their Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate.
- Individuals seeking to gain multi-engine experience for career advancement.
- Anyone wanting to enhance their proficiency in multi-engine operations.
Don’t let cost be a barrier to achieving your multi-engine goals. To get a personalized time-building plan, text me with your pilot certificate level, the number of hours you need, and your desired start date. Multi-engine time building is offered at $1** per hour.
- Flight Reviews: Stay current and safe with comprehensive flight reviews.
- Affordable Multi-Engine Time Building: Build valuable multi-engine flight hours efficiently and affordably in Beechcraft BE76 Duchess.
