Ivan Cibrian

Hey, I'm Ivan Cibrian – an FAA-certified flight instructor. San Diego is where I call home, and these gorgeous skies are my playground. My passion for aviation has taken me on an incredible journey of flying airplanes, and I'm thrilled to share my expertise with aspiring aviators like you.

​

I learned hot to fly at a competitive Part 141 flight school in California (EVA Flight Training Academy) - an experience that allowed me to be a certified flight instructor. I have four years of fight experience and two years as a flight instructor. I received additional training at Plus One Flyers in San Diego and am now a member of their flying club. 

​

My teaching approach centers around imparting expertise through precise flying methods, such as pitch and power tables, rather than relying solely on intuition and instinct. I ensure that all of my student pilots get to learn how to fly all while enjoying what the freedom of flight brings.

I have a high checkride pass rate and I take pride in the remarkable success of my students. I believe in patience when it comes to providing flight training and understand that learning to fly can be a difficult process. This is why I focus on patience while guiding student pilots during our flying lessons together.

My open-minded approach is about embracing different learning styles and adapting my teaching methods to suit your needs. I take a student-centric approach and am always brainstorming innovative ways to empower my students to become the best pilots they can be!

Hi there, my name is Will May. I’m an FAA-certified flight instructor born and raised in San Diego. I first began my aviation journey in college, attending San Jose State University’s aviation program while simultaneously conducting my flight training and earning my ratings.

I’ve always had a passion for teaching others; after graduating I decided to combine my love of teaching and aviation and become a flight instructor.

My instruction philosophy is to make the flight training process enjoyable and unintimidating, always prioritizing the individual needs of each student and tailoring my instruction style to their
unique needs.

My priority as your flight instructor is always to put your success first, ensuring
you feel comfortable and respected throughout our training together.
