You’ve Thought About Flying. Let’s Make It Happen.

  • Maybe you’ve dreamed about it for years. Maybe you just started Googling “how to become a pilot.” Either way, you’re here—and that’s the hardest part. I’m Nico, a Certified Flight Instructor based right here in Eugene. I don’t run a big flight school with rotating instructors and rigid schedules. When you train with me, you get one instructor, one relationship, and a training plan built around your life. Whether you’re working full-time, in school, or just figuring things out, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get to the cockpit.

Why Students Choose Fly With Nico

Item 1 - One-on-One Instruction: No classroom of strangers. No shuffling between instructors. Just you and me, building your skills lesson by lesson. I learn how you learn—and I adapt my teaching to fit.

Item 2 - Flexible Scheduling That Actually Works: Early mornings, evenings, weekends—I work around your calendar. Life is busy. Flight training shouldn’t add stress; it should be the highlight of your week.

Item 3 - Local Knowledge You Can’t Get From a Textbook: I know Eugene Airport’s tower operations, Creswell’s non-towered procedures, and the quirks of Willamette Valley weather. You’ll train in real local conditions—not just theory.

Step 1 - Reach Out: Fill out the form or give me a call. We’ll talk about your goals, your schedule, and what you’re hoping to get out of flying. Step 2 - Book Your First Flight: We’ll get you in the air with a discovery flight or jump straight into training if you’re ready. Either way, you’ll have the controls in your hands from day one. Step 3 - Train at Your Pace: We’ll build a step-by-step plan with clear milestones. Most students fly 2–3 times per week, but we’ll find the rhythm that works for you.
