Cirrus Aircraft

Greg is a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) which means that he is factory trained and regularly audited by Cirrus to continuously provide superb instruction in Cirrus SR22 and SR20, all model types – SR-22T G6, G5, G3 Turbo and Turbonormalized with Perspective Avionics, SR-22T Avidyne, G2 and all previous variants.

Fly with Greg in your own Cirrus aircraft, or you can rent one at flying clubs located around the Bay Area.  In Palo Alto consider JATO Aviation and West Valley Flying Club, in San Carlos (JATO Aviation), and in San Jose (in Greg’s own Cirrus SR22).

The Cirrus SR-22 G6 is the latest and best ever from Cirrus. In addition to the luxuries and useful features of its predecessors, Generation 6 brings Perspective+ FMS with a QWERTY keyboard, high speed processors (10x faster than legacy G1000), Bluetooth connectivity, improved door closure and incredible exterior lighting. Cirrus G6 delivers an aviation experience that is the pinnacle of innovation, quality, and safety. Read more on the Cirrus Aircraft website.

The Cirrus SR-22T G5 is the latest and best from Cirrus. With seating for 5, increased available payload, and flight into known icing (FIKI) capability – just to name a few – it truly is an amazing machine. Read the product announcement from Cirrus here.

Avidyne Cirrus PanelCirrus SR22The Cirrus SR-20 and Cirrus SR22 are the perfect platform when moving into the world of Cirrus. These are fast, modern, fun, and overall outstanding cross country machines. The SR20 often serves as a stepping stone for low time pilots wishing to transition to Cirrus from other aircraft.

Greg is a CSIP – Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot – qualified in all models of Cirrus SR20 and SR22.  Rentals are available at Palo Alto, San Carlos, and San Jose.

Aircraft Management

Got my Instrument Rating with Greg and he manages my aircraft too. Exceeds expectations!

Recurrent Training

I work with Greg every couple of months doing refresher flights, both VFR and IFR. Time well spent.

Purchase and Transition

Cockpit demeanor like no other instructor I’ve encountered. Great teaching style.

Turboprop Future

Upgraded from SR22 to a Meridian. Was told at SimCom that my instrument CFI prepared me very well.

Delivery and Ferry

Greg was a great help during my purchase and transition, and I intend to use him for my IFR rating.

He’s a Cirrus Owner Too

Since Greg’s a Cirrus owner as well, I appreciated the inside scoop on ownership issues.

SR22-G2 Avidyne Training

Quality Cirrus flight training made useful and fun. Thanks!

Avidyne Transition Training

I very much enjoyed working with Greg during my transition to SR22!

New To SR22T

Greg helped me transition from a DA40 to my new SR22T, and it was a blast. Thank you!

Really Long XC

Needed to move my Cirrus from the East Coast to California. With Greg along I learned a ton and had a blast!

Greg’s YouTube Channel

Great presence and calm in the cockpit. I might have to make a trip to CA for my instrument rating.
