At Double Bridges Aviation, we boast having some of the most experienced instructors in the business...period.

Many flight schools suffer from instructor turn over. Just when you are making progress and getting into the groove, your CFI announces, he or she is off to the airlines. This is disruptive to your training and you'll spend a few un-scheduled hours getting back in sync again with your next CFI.

Our CFI's are here for the love of flight, and the art of instruction. They are truly dedicated to following thru on your training, right up to your checkride.
