Your Instructor

Winston Tripp teaches every lesson himself, so the instructor who takes you up on your discovery flight is the one who signs you off for your checkride. No rotating schedule, and nobody picking up where someone else left off.

I earned my certificates at a Part 141 school in North Carolina, so I have trained under both sets of rules and I know what each one is good at. A fixed syllabus gives you structure. What it does not give you is room to move, and most people learning to fly here are fitting it around a job, a degree, or a family. That is why we run Part 61: we can build the path around your schedule and your goals instead of asking you to fit theirs.

I work with new pilots from their first discovery flight onward, and with pilots coming back after time away who want to be sharp again for the people in their right seat. My goal is training that is useful, enjoyable, and worth coming back to every year for new ratings, currency work, or just to fly something different.
