Your instructor
Hi, I'm Krischan
I'm a certified flight instructor based in Hurricane. I hold a professional pilot degree from Utah State University, commercial single- and multi-engine ratings and an instrument rating. I also serve in the Utah Army National Guard as an AH-64 Apache armament, avionics and electronics repairer.
My students learn why we do things, not just what to memorize. I want you comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and building real confidence, so you become a pilot who makes good decisions on your own.
