PCF Authorized Instructors
At Pacific Coast Flyers we maintain the highest standards in safety and quality. All of our approved CFI must pass a rigorous approval process as well as maintain an excellent safety record and undergo continuous recurrent training to remain current as approved instuctors with PCF.
As independant, private instructors our CFI are free to teach according to their individual skills and to the specific needs of each student. This model attracts instructors that are passionate about flying and teaching and discourages the "hour building" approach to teaching common at many flight schools and corporate flying clubs.

| Matthew Sparks | $85
Matthew Sparkshttps://www.pcflyers.org/instructors?ResID=MSparks I’m your professional instructor for all certificates, ratings, reviews and checkouts with a British twist. I have a B.Ed. teaching credential, and enjoy teaching. I’m also experienced in competition aerobatics, spin and upset attitude recovery training. Come and fly tailwheel or aerobatics with me, or follow the Magenta line. Whether you’re just starting out or need to chase the perfect flight, whether in the high tech Cirrus or in an open cockpit biplane, it’s all fun and I love every second of the privilege. |
