Free Checkrides at Marfa, Texas

Yet another glider flight instructor returns to soaring! Congrats to Retired USAF Lt. General Robert Dierker for passing his Flight Instructor "Reinstatement" practical test with me in my ASK-21 after being "dormant" for many years (as a CFI.) Robert came to Marfa from Maryland and plans to contribute to the renovation and growth of his home soaring club.

More than half of the applicants who took advantage of this winter's free room / free checkride offer have been CFI's, along with several Private applicants (glider only.) Most came to west Texas from the northern states this winter to fly with me.

If you are ready to finish your glider rating, now is the time to prepare at your home club. Get all of your solo flights completed and work with your CFIG to log the requirements for a FAA practical test (checkride) for PVT, COM, CFI (renewal or reinstatement) per the applicable FAR in part 61. Pass the "written" test (if applicable) and then contact me about a checkride this summer at Marfa, or next fall / winter.

Happy to chat with you about your goals and how I may facilitate your glider pilot checkride.

"Someday" is NOW.
