David Meisner

David is a flight instructor and engineer who grew up in Lewiston and now teaches out of the Boise, Nampa, and Caldwell airports. He holds every instructor and ground instructor rating you're likely to need on the way from student pilot to instrument-rated, high-performance aircraft owner.

Lessons are built around you: clear briefings, honest debriefs, and plenty of time in the pattern, because good landings and good decisions are where safe flying starts.

The trainer

N18023

Our Cessna 150L is a classic two-seat trainer: forgiving, honest, and inexpensive to fly. It's a great airplane for learning stick-and-rudder skills and for building time.
