Take exciting weekend adventures to Tahoe or the Wine Country.  Entertain friends, family, and business associates. Develop a skill few others ever will.   Learning to fly is a challenge and can be the adventure of a lifetime! Whether it just occurred to you that you could actually fly an airplane, or if it has been a lifelong dream to do so, you can learn to fly. You can take flying lessons and you can even earn your Private Pilot's Certificate.

Start with an Introductory Lesson.  Go to "Introductory Flight".

If you want to start training right now, or want to know more
about what it takes to become a pilot, go to "Learn to Fly".

                          Interested in a Bay Tour?
Do you want to take a fantastic sight seeing tour of the Bay Area?  Go to "Fly the Bay Tour".

                                 Already a Pilot?
If you are already a pilot, I offer recurrency training, transition to more complex aircraft, mountain flying experience, training for air racing, and instrument and commercial training.  Go to "Advanced Flight Training".

I provide professional Flight Instruction at Palo Alto, San Carlos, and Hayward Airports.  If you own your own airplane, other airports are a possibility. 

As I have traveled a lot, I also enjoy flying with pilots who come to the US from Europe and other countries for currency training or just plain fun flying.

"Thanks so much for your encouragement and help in getting current again.  I've flown over 50 hours since we started, and I'm feeling like the skills - and oneness with the airplane - are coming back.

And if you'd like me to talk to anyone about getting current after a long time, I'd be glad to do it!

And I'll remind them that the first step - after deciding to do it - is to find a great instructor.

Take care."

Best,
Cynthia


"It was a real pleasure to fly with Sue.  As experienced as I am for a relatively new pilot, I got quite a bit out of flying with her a month ago and on Saturday for the check out.  That totally confirms why I have a general preference for flying with female instructors versus male  instructors....there thoroughness, and easy and friendly way of teaching.  Thanks Sue!!!"

"When once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward…..

for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
