INSTRUCTION
Scott specializes in equipping pilots with knowledge and experience well beyond the FAA minimums required for the private pilot certificate and instrument ratings, so they can confidently and safely use their aircraft for cross country travel and get the most out of their installed equipment. This requires practical experience with long-distance weather, aircraft performance, air traffic control procedures at busy terminals as well as in rural areas, risk assessment and human performance limitations. Sometimes that means making a "no-go" decision, and always in the air that means constantly evaluating how the flight is progressing and what lies ahead. This instruction takes place both on the ground and in real-world flight. He is equally at home using analog and electronic flight instrumentation and avionics. Scott works with clients both with and without instrument ratings. He also provides flight reviews and instrument proficiency checks for clients.
Flying with Scott
Smitten with the aviation bug since the early days of NASA, Scott started flying nearly 35 years ago and has gone on to enjoy general aviation in many forms. He has trained in large piston aircraft, including the B-25 WWII bomber and the Martin 404 airliner from the '50s and '60s. For fun he flies seaplanes and airplanes fitted with skis for winter flying. He has piloted family trips through Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Arizona and has over 125 trips flown in all seasons as a volunteer pilot for organizations such as Angel Flight NE transporting medical patients and their families. He has used his aircraft for business flights to destinations throughout the Eastern United States as well as into Canada and the Caribbean. He never ceases to find joy in the views and satisfaction that general aviation brings to him, and in working with clients who are dedicated to becoming better pilots. Scott is married with two grown children, and had 35 years of experience as a lawyer with a major United States law firm based in New York City before his retirement.
