About the Instructor

Erik Schmidt , CFI, CFII, MEI

Erik began his flying career in US Navy Aviation where his first flight was aerobatics in a T34C. He’s been avoiding straight and level flight ever since. Much of Erik’s flying has been in Alaska and the upper Midwest in a variety of good aircraft and bad weather. Erik received his tailwheel endorsement in a Pitts S2B at the Sean Tucker Aerobatics School, but he also has many hours in Extras, Decathlons and bush planes like the Piper Cub and Cessna 185. In addition, Erik has lots of “Glass Cockpit” experience and is factory certified to teach in Rolls Royce Turbines. Erik loves to instruct and can take you from Private through to Multi-Engine. He will teach you the mechanics and the practical application of theory safely and efficiently.
