WHY ALTITUDE
Altitude Aviation Academy
Brandy G.
Charlotta is the most amazing instructor you could ask for! She’s encouraging and dedicated to seeing you succeed in your aviation journey. Her ability to explain complex topics with clarity and patience makes every lesson both productive and inspiring. You’ll walk away more confident after every flight.

Will is an extraordinary person. He guided me through my private pilot training, which I had no prior knowledge of aviation. Thanks to his assistance, I can now proudly say that I have my pilot’s license. Will is always willing to help and push me through any obstacle that comes my way. He truly embodies the qualities of a mentor and a role model!
Teresa P.
I was lucky to have Charlotta instruct me full-time and earned my PPL under her expert guidance in early 2024. Now training for my IFR, I can confidently say her knowledge, teaching style, and support are truly unmatched—just remember, “patience” on landing!

Will is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making every lesson both informative and enjoyable. His teaching techniques are clear, hands-on, and tailored to help me build confidence and skill in the cockpit.
Guin H.
Will is an instructor who cares about his students and takes the time to acknowledge their strengths and struggles. He is friendly and approachable, as well as extremely knowledgeable in his field. I do not think I would've been able to get my Private Pilot's license without his help!
