If you can’t stop thinking about flying become an instructor!

Why get the advanced training?
Advanced training is for PPG pilots who already have a USPPA PPG 1/2/3 rating or equivalent skills and want to become a USPPA foot launch instructor or USPPA tandem foot launch instructor. FYI: I only offer foot launch training, not wheel launch (trikes/quads). You don’t need a tandem rating to become an instructor but you do need to be an instructor to obtain a tandem rating (FAR 103 tandem exemption).
How do I become an instructor?
The USPPA minimum requirements for all ratings are available here: USPPA Ratings Program
Aside from what the USPPA requires, I have additional requirements for pilots interested in the advanced training program. In order to do advanced training with me, i expect that you have experienced PPG flying in more than one environment. For example, flying at a coastal/beach site and also an inland or mountainous site. The more locations the better. I expect advanced pilots to be well-rounded when it comes to experiencing different terrains, seasons, and equipment (wings and motors/frames) and to have completed at least one SIV course.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKES AND WHAT IS THE COST?
The USPPA Instructor clinic can usually be completed within an 8-day course and the cost is $600.
Fly once and you will look up forever.
