Instructor

Andrew Cimpean, CFI/CFII

My journey to the cockpit started at age three, telling everyone I would become a pilot when I grew up. Today, I'm a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII), and I feel incredibly blessed to help bring your aviation dreams to life.

I believe flight training should be well-ordered but enjoyable, without losing the excitement that got you interested in the first place. Every student learns differently, and I tailor each lesson to how you learn best — not just pushing another person through the system.

As we train together, my goal is simple: Understand the aircraft and own your decisions in the air.
