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.
