Instructors
Every lesson at Placeholder Flight Training is taught by an FAA-certificated flight instructor who's invested in your progress, from your first discovery flight to your checkride.
Chief Flight Instructor
John learned to fly in New England and has been teaching ever since, with a focus on building confident, safety-minded pilots from the very first lesson.
As a CFII, John especially enjoys instrument training. New England's weather makes it a great classroom. Outside of lessons you'll find John flying the coastline from Plum Island to Cape Ann.
