Instructor
Effective PA46
pilot training is difficult to find because instructor turnover is high;
additionally, many instructors have limited experience with these technically
advanced aircraft and the challenges associated with training owner pilots.
Dick Rochfort is
a full-time pilot instructor working exclusively in the Piper Matrix, Malibu,
Mirage and Meridian aircraft (PA46). He provides 60 to 80 insurance-approved
initial and recurrent programs each year all over the US, Canada and Western
Europe, specifically in these aircraft.
He serves as
pilot instructor for the Malibu/Mirage Safety and Training Foundation and he is
an FAA Aviation Safety Counselor for the Baltimore Flight Standards District
Office. He is qualified by The National
Association of Flight Instructors as a Master Certified Flight Instructor and he is a
National Industry Member of the FAA Safety Team.
Dick has been
teaching pilots of all experience levels for over 20 years with no
accidents. In addition to corporate
flying, his background includes clinical psychology and human factors
engineering. This experience gives him additional insight into the learning
process for owner pilots whose learning styles tend to differ from those of
professional pilots.
“I am able to help you attain your
aviation goals by sharing the PA46 specific procedures needed to become safe
and comfortable in your aircraft, no matter how long you have owned it. I do
this by providing the right mix of procedure oriented specific training
elements.
.
It is proven that specificity training
creates the best environment for learning. If you train with me in your
own aircraft using dedicated procedures, you will learn faster and retain
skills longer.
I will apply my highly successful
methods to meet your specific requirements and you will train at the location
of your choosing.”
