From The Bay Area to Tahoe In Under An Hour

February 3, 2013 By Greg West

From The Bay Area to Tahoe In Under An Hour

truckee-airportGetting yourself to a ski weekend in Tahoe on a Friday evening can be a harrowing experience. You’ve been there: sitting in traffic for four… five… sometimes six hours. You begin to wonder if it’s even worth it.

Consider: using a small airplane to fly to the mountains. You can land in Truckee, Reno, or South Lake Tahoe in about an hour. You can depart from any one of the many municipal airports around the Bay Area. You can arrive stress-free and be there for dinner.

This is real, and it’s not just for the jet crowd. You can land, have a rental car waiting, and be on your way in mere minutes. No more Friday afternoon I-80 traffic headaches. Contact Greg to find out how you can hire a charter to get you there, or begin the rewarding journey of learning to become a pilot yourself.

READBACK

New To SR22T

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

Delivery and Ferry

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

Aircraft Management

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

Turboprop Future

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

Greg’s YouTube Channel

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

Purchase and Transition

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

SR22-G2 Avidyne Training

Quality Cirrus flight training made useful and fun. Thanks!

Recurrent Training

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

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!

He’s a Cirrus Owner Too

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

Avidyne Transition Training

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