Couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Darren. He’s the kind of instructor who gets to know you personally—even the small details and habits. He notices them right away, corrects them calmly and patiently, and helps you feel the difference immediately. I’m also grateful that he lets his students get the most out of their money by allowing them to fly, make mistakes, and learn from them—all while keeping safety a top priority. Thanks to his training, I was fully prepared and signed off for my checkride with under 50 hours, while the average student needs around 70. He’s the most cost-effective and time-efficient option for anyone looking to get their private pilot license.

Darren is an excellent instructor, awesome pilot, and all-around great guy. He's patient, knowledgeable, and truly enjoys what he does. He creates a comfortable and fun learning environment. It has been a rewarding experience so far. I look forward to continuing my aviation journey with Darren.

I am incredibly grateful to Darren for his guidance during my private pilot training. His approach to teaching went above and beyond, truly enhancing my learning experience. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, he was always patient, ensuring I thoroughly understood each concept being taught to me. What made Darren exceptional was his ability to tailor his instruction to my unique learning style, making complex topics easy to understand. I recall struggling with my flare during landings, but Darren never gave up on me. He used an analogy that really resonated with me, and soon I was landing like a pro. After each lesson, he offered constructive feedback while also celebrating everything I did well. Thanks to his unwavering support, dedication and expertise, he got me across the finish line with confidence. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

I’ve been fortunate to have great instructors throughout my training and Darren is no exception! I worked with him on becoming more proficient in High-Performance single engine aircraft, gaining experience with cross country flying and I am currently working on my commercial rating with him. He is exceedingly patient, thoughtful in his instruction and always builds confidence. I plan to continue flying with him to build upon my skills even after completing my commercial rating!

Flying with Darren has been a joy. He always comes prepared to my lessons and offers great feedback on my flying. I've definitely become a better and safe pilot thanks to him!

I've been training with Darren for almost a year now. Darren is someone you can text at any hour and he will respond promptly always. When you're flying with him you can tell he is confident and knows exactly what he's talking about. I would recommend him every single time.
