Flight Instruction
Own your own plane?
At Vess Aviation, I know that flexibility is key to your flight training experience. That’s why I offer lessons in your own aircraft and come to you at one of the many airports I service. Whether you're working toward your private pilot license or brushing up on your skills, I provide personalized training wherever it's most convenient for you.
With a focus on safety and technique, every flight will help you build confidence, refine your skills, and achieve your aviation goals. From start to finish, I'm dedicated to providing a customized flight training experience that fits your schedule and location.
Start your flight training with us today, no matter where you are—Vess Aviation will meet you at an airport near you!
Please contact me for hourly rates as that does depend on the aircraft being flown!
Not Yet Purchased a Plane? No Problem!
We understand that you may not have purchased your aircraft yet, and that’s perfectly fine! Feel free to reach out to us to discuss your goals and opportunities. We’re here to help you achieve your aviation dreams. If you're still looking for the right aircraft, I’d be happy to assist in locating and helping you pick the perfect plane for your needs.
Don't have a plane?
At Vess Aviation, I would still love to be your flight instructor, even if you don’t own a plane! Come visit me in Calhoun, Georgia, at my home airport, where I have access to an amazing fleet of highly maintained Piper Cherokees and Cessna 172s—perfect for your training. While this is currently the only location where I can offer rental aircraft, I’m actively working on forming partnerships with flight schools and aircraft owners across North Georgia to expand our reach. In the meantime, I’m here to help you take flight at my Calhoun base! Let’s make your aviation dreams a reality!
If you're interested, I can bring my aircraft to you in certain situations, depending on the distance to your airport. I’m committed to making your flight training as convenient as possible, so if you’re not based in Calhoun, let’s talk and see how we can make it work. A small ferry fee may apply depending on the distance, but I’ll do my best to bring the aircraft to you so you can continue your training without any hassle!
