Meet our people - Flight Training Done Right

Why Our Instructors Are the Best in the Area

Every instructor at EB Flight Training is hand-selected through a rigorous interview and skills evaluation process. We hold our instructors to an exceptionally high standard — because your training deserves nothing less.

Rigorous Interview Process

Candidates undergo multi-stage interviews covering aviation knowledge, teaching ability, and professionalism.

Skills & Standards Testing

Every instructor is evaluated in the aircraft and on the ground to ensure they meet our exacting standards before joining the team.

Only the Best Make the Cut

We turn away qualified candidates who don't meet our culture and quality bar. Your success depends on who teaches you.
