Aviation


I began flying small airplanes in 1993 and earned commercial and flight instructor certificates in 1995.  In 1996 I joined the Civil Air Patrol and in 1998 I was appointed an FAA Aviation Safety Counselor.

I fly out of nearby airports in Bridgeport, CT; White Plains, NY; and Teterboro, NJ

Pilot tools:

AirNav is a free web site which contains complete FAA Airport/Facility Directory data on all U.S. airports.  It also has, for each airport, a list of all businesses (FBOs, flight schools, maintenance shops) at the airport plus nearby hotels and restaurants.  This list contains phone numbers, hours of operation, email addresses, and web site URLs.  I can't say enough about this site - I use it all the time!
