Joshua Cooper

CFII ASEL, and Commercial Pilot AMEL

My name is Joshua Cooper and I am a Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII) with an ASEL (Airplane, Single Engine, Land class rating) and Commercial Pilot AMEL (Airplane Multi-Engine Land rating). I am a Sacramento local who has dreamed of flying my whole life and I finally got to achieve my goals.

I am having so much fun flying that I’m not looking to just build hours and move on to the airlines. I’m really striving to teach fellow students and other pilots how to be safe professional, successful pilots. I want to to share my knowledge and experience to help you learn to fly and become a confident, seasoned pilot.

I will not send you to your checkride unprepared. I want to make your flying experience fun, safe, and productive so you can achieve your goals.
