Chris Pirotto, AGI & IGI

Who am I?

I am a Private Pilot and FAA Certified Advanced Ground Instructor. I am a former tenured university lecturer and researcher where I focused on teaching methods and education. Now, I am applying that experience to helping student pilots master the "book" knowledge they need.

How can I help you?

I am here to be a reliable, affordable tool in your training kit, providing the ground-side support you need when CFI availability is limited. No matter where you are in your journey - whether you're tackling the written exam, polishing for a checkride with mock orals, or just need a weekly touch-point to clear up pain points. I provide the accountability and mentorship to keep your progress moving forward.

Ground Instruction Services

FAA Knowledge Exam Prep

Customized support for the FAA Written. From zero knowledge to test-day ready, I offer flexible prep options - including a unique hybrid model - designed to fit your schedule and budget.

Mock Oral Exams

Don't let the oral exam ground you. I offer rigorous mock checkrides that mirror the ACS framework, pinpointing knowledge gaps and refining your delivery so you're ready for any question.

Tailed aviation mentorship for student pilots at every stage of your training. Whether it is ground school mastery, checkride prep, or staying accountable. Let's get you to the finish line!
