About Tristian

Hello, I’m Tristian Wilson. I’m a Florida-based CFI, CFII, and MEI, as well as a Coast Guard veteran with a background in aviation operations and experimental flight-test support.

My Approach to Training

Flight training should help you understand both what to do and why you’re doing it. My goal is to help you develop the knowledge, aircraft control, and judgment to make sound decisions in the cockpit.

You can expect clear explanations, opportunities to ask questions, and direct feedback about what’s going well and what needs more work. We’ll use your experience and goals to determine where to begin and what to focus on as you progress.

Preparing for a checkride is part of that process. So is becoming comfortable making decisions and handling situations beyond the checkride.

Who I Work With

Whether you’re a new student, a pilot pursuing additional qualifications, or someone returning after a break, we can discuss a training plan that fits your needs.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re unsure where to start, we can talk through your options, aircraft access, and availability.
