Olmsted Aviation

Chris is an exceptionally talented aerobatic/UPRT CFI. I learned so much about aircraft upset recovery and aerobatics under his expertise. I would highly recommend flying with Chris to anyone who is looking to become a safer pilot with raw stick and rudder skills.

I traveled to Olmsted Aviation from Oregon because I had heard such positive reviews. I specifically wanted to receive spin training since I had never experienced before. By the end of the week, not only was I comfortable with spins, I was comfortable with inverted flat spins! Chris' ability to adapt his teaching skills to my needs was incomparable to any instructor I've previously experienced. He is very professional and was able to help me through frustrating times - which we know all instructors can't do. I STRONGLY recommend him and his gorgeous Pitts S2A!!

Exceptional instruction! This guy really knows what he is talking about and has an ejoyable & excellent disposition in the cockpit while teaching. This is the best and most organized I have seen regarding spin instruction. Chris knows how to fly and teaches precision manuevers. I highly recommend pilots of all levels work with Chris to improve their skills and safety.
