Dick:
A quick thank you for a great day last week. I never
fail to learn something, and I really appreciate the level of instruction. I
hope you are well, I owe you some drinks and a dinner.
Best,
Bill Trimble – Meridian - N310JM
Dick,
Thank you for fitting me into your busy schedule for
my first re-current training. As expected, I continue to learn valuable
information from your training schedule. The tools you have to train with are
above any ground base school anyone could attend. I cannot fathom using
any other trainer for Mirage and
Thank you,

Dick Rochfort gave me my initial
training and has advised me to turn the pitot heat “ON” when taking the runway
and turn it off when clearing the runway. I have formed that habit and is on my
check list.

Thank you
again, and I am sure I will continue to thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed our
sessions. …Your techniques have challenged me to do better, try harder, train
more often and fly safer. The good news about making mistakes and feeling the
mistakes is that I tend to remember those.

“… Based on a couple of recommendations, I asked
Dick Rochfort to do (my training). ( www.rwrpilottraining.com ) I spent night and day with him for 5 days and
then started flying on my own. It was a
great experience. He introduced me to a
whole new method of flying. It was much
more structured and thorough than anything I'd done before. I'm still trying to meet the standards he
introduced.…”

Dick,
I
wanted to take a second and personally thank you for the work you did with
Jason and I. Your program is second to none and overall knowledge of the
PA46 (Papa Alpha 46) is incredible. I am a firm believer that when you
are in an instructor environment it is not always what you know, but how you
convey the information, and you obviously have a firm grasp of how to
teach. Thanks once again for your hard work and let’s stay in touch.

Dick,
I
wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate the service you
provided me this past January. .. you were very professional and very easy to
communicate with. As you know, we had to reschedule a few times due to the
aircraft awaiting parts for completion of its annual and you were always
accommodating.
As we
met in
During the initial
training, my wife and I enjoyed the experience and friendship built over the 5
days we spent together. Your company, program and personality are the best in
the industry. ..
Thank you very much
for your great service. I will be back for all of my required training.

Dick,
I just wanted to tell you again how very grateful I am
for your training. You gave me a high
standard to aim at, and I often think about what I can do to get there. The impact of your training has long
outlasted the week we spent together last fall.
Warm regards,

Dick,
Great to fly
with you today; wonderful tips and good advice, as always. It is always a
pleasure to fly with somebody with so much experience. Thanks.

Thank
you very much for your excellent seminar on STEC 1500 attitude based
autopilots. ...You covered a lot of important issues, and were the highlight of
the convention for many. I admire your mastery of the information and
appreciate your many contributions to MMOPA.

I took training with Dick a
couple of months ago. He's one of the new breed of trainers who is actually
able to integrate all the new electronics into your flying. He's a fine teacher
and very well qualified. When you are done you will have a better checklist and
routine for flying your bird. I recommend him highly.

I trained with Dick last
year for recurrency and he did a fine job. He clearly knows the plane and
systems and the hands-on flight training is very good. Highly recommend him.

I did my initial with Dick about 3 months ago,
transitioning out of an A-36. I was blown away by how much he knew about my
plane -- not just the PA-46 but also the KFC-150 AP and my brand new Garmin
units. I had both in my Bonanza and wrongly thought I could make them
"sing and dance." After my time with Dick I'm starting to get them to
hum, we'll work on the rest of it during my recurrent. I'd recommend the guy
whole-heartedly. His broad range as a pilot with an engineering background
makes for a darn effective CFI.

I have retained Dick's
services over the last few years to receive training in the PA-32 and PA-46. I
also used Dick to obtain my commercial rating. He is a highly motivated instructor
who enjoys flying and teaching. He knows the airplane, systems and
electronics. I highly recommend Dick and
will use him again.

My father-in-law and I had
Dick Rochfort for our training. I had the initial and my father-in-law had the
recurrent. He was very knowledgeable on the Mirage and answered all questions
we had concerning the airplane. If for some reason he did not have the answer
right away, he was sure to make a phone call and find out for us. He was attentive
to our needs and timeline and was available to take our phone calls if we had
any questions. I have personally called him a couple of times once our training
was complete to ask a few questions and he responded to my phone call in a
timely manner.

He did my initial
transition to the Mirage from a V35B Bonanza a little over a year ago. He then
did my recurrent training after the MMOPA convention in October.
Besides being a knowledgeable instructor, the thing I really appreciate about
Dick is that he is able to determine what you already have pretty well mastered
and what areas you need to focus on (even though you may THINK you have them
mastered!), and work at a customized pace for you. I have had instructors in
the past who bored me at some times and overwhelmed me at others. Not so with
Dick.
I might also add that his knowledge of systems, including many different types
of avionics, is complemented by his strong knowledge of the engines and the
latest, most up-to-date techniques for safe, efficient operation. Smart guy.
I sent him a thank-you email for his good instruction about a month and a half
after my initial. I had a turbocharger failure in the mid-twenties over the
mountains at night with three passengers, two of which were new to flying. Good
training and a cool head helped me diagnose the problem, take the appropriate
actions, and land safely, without rattling the passengers. Dick's thorough
instruction of systems and emergency training helped me deal with the whole
incident with an appropriate degree of confidence and keep an
out-of-the-ordinary situation for a new

Dick is first class, particularly strong in the
real world cockpit management and IFR areas.

I
began with Dick when I purchased a Mirage transitioning up from a Cessna 182 so
was required to fly 250 hours with him, so I probably have more experience than
others. After moving up to a
I emphatically endorse all the good things that were said about Dick. He is
extremely knowledgeable about airplanes, avionics, regulations, etc. But what
sets him apart is his ability to impart savvy advice about handling complicated
practical situations; challenging weather, difficult ATC personnel,
emergencies, etc. His sensible, no-nonsense approaches have proved invaluable
to me and I feel fortunate to have been able to train with him.
Dick is also highly professional, on-time, organized and prepared.
He is absolutely first class.
