I teach and fly in the Seattle area, working out of Paine Field (KPAE), although I can provide instruction at Boeing Field (KBFI), Renton (KRNT), Arlington (KAWO), and most of the other nearby airports. In addition:

• I offer transition and proficiency training for both the Garmin G1000 and Avidyne Entegra glass cockpits, backed up by hundreds of hours spent teaching and flying in electronic cockpits;
• as an owner, I have substantial experience in Grumman types (AA-1 and AA-5 series). I standardize new pilots and work on additional ratings;
• I am factory trained on the Cessna 400 Corvalis TT and provide instruction in Columbia 350 & 400 and Cessna 350 & 400 aircraft; and
• my students are well prepared: 90% of my students have passed on the first attempt, many under the national average for the rating.

If you’re wondering about earning a pilot’s license, an additional rating, or are interested in scheduling instruction, please give me a call at (206) 552-9303, or send an email to infofoo@barericgideon.com.

My going rate

is $45 per hour for flight instruction, up to a maximum of $300 per day for training and delivery or ferry flights. I do not offer primary instruction, unless you own or can provide an insured aircraft.

Pilots and non-pilots

might want to take a look at my travel and aviation photos, which I share at Flickr. As one of several instructors at Ask a CFI I also respond to questions on all manner of aviation topics.
