Professional Piper Malibu and Meridian Flight Training


Executive Flight Training is a small flight school that I started in 1986 while I was a Captain/Check Pilot with US Airways. For the last six years, I have specialized in Piper Malibu, Meridian and Matrix flight training. I offer training to pilots that have come to the realization that a cookie cutter approach to training is not appropriate for them. Many of my clients have attended local flight schools, training academies and even big name simulator schools only to find that high price doesn't necessarily mean high quality. Simply put, I offer the best Piper Meridian or Malibu flight training available in the owner's airplane on an accelerated, flexible, and affordable basis. I avoid the distractions or delays of a large flight school. I am an experienced Piper Meridian pilot and instructor with over 10,000 hours of instructional experience. And to be honest, no matter where you go for training, the quality of the training experience is directly related to the quality of the instructor. In fact, when the ABC News show 20/20 needed an expert on the Piper Meridian, their producer contacted me. Finally, I train at your convenience and on your schedule.


My priorities are:

  1. 1. Training safer pilots through superior instruction in their own aircraft by utilizing their own avionics.
  2. 2. Conferring useful tips and techniques learned from teaching hundreds of Piper Meridian and Malibu pilots.
  3. 3. Exceeding FAA or insurance requirements for initial or recurrent in the minimum amount of time.
  4. 4. Offering an economical alternative to simulator schools without sacrificing quality.

Regardless of your experience level, you will leave here a better and safer pilot than when you arrived.

Piper Meridian/Malibu Consulting
When you train as many pilots as I have, it's inevitable that I get requests for aircraft specific information, as prospective pilots consider buying a Malibu or Meridian. Since I get lots of questions, I have created a one-on-one, fee-based consulting program, which can be purchased in 30 minute increments.  Learn More
