Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am the Chief Flight Instructor at GLA. My aviation journey began at 13 when I joined the Air Cadets. At the cadets I received my PPL, allowing me to move forward in my Commercial Training. My training was completed in Ontario at Brantford Flight Centre and Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre, I also instructed at both facilities. I have experience on a large variety of aircraft including floats, tailwheels, and multi engine. Just like every student I am constantly looking to improve and broaden my skillset and have recently taken on acrobatic flying lessons. The best moments being an instructor are when you can see something ‘click’ for a student in their flight training. I look forward to flying with you!

My tip for students is to remember that everyone’s paths in aviation look different. At GLA we realize this, and will work with you to make your aviation goals a reality no matter what they look like.

My love for aviation began in my early teenage years. I completed my flight training at Excel Flight training in Lethbridge, Alberta. I am a Commercial Pilot with a Group 1 instrument rating. I simply cannot watch an airplane fly overhead without looking it up. I will make sure to visit the local aviation museum wherever I am on holidays, and will chat to anyone willing to listen about aviation. My favorite part of scenic flights is watching people experience flight in a small aircraft for the first time. As pilots, we become very familiar flying these planes, and often forget what it’s like. I take great pride in ensuring every flight is filled with knowledge, comfort, and is an unforgettable experience. Will you be my next passenger?
