Instructors  >

Eliot Floersch, CFI, CFII, MEI Married to Keira, one child and another on the way! Birthdate November, 20, 1970 I became a flight instructor to improve my own flying skills. What I didn't realize was how rewarding a profession it was until training students through successful checkrides and seeing the pleasure that flying brings to pilots and their families. Working at Diamond, I've had the pleasure of being a part of a friendly atmosphere and I'm able to instruct in a well maintained, outstanding fleet of aircraft, that is always improving. I moved to Sacramento but I still prefer to commute here to instruct rather than compromise and fly at a less safety conscious flight school. I'd like to share with others what I've learned so far, as well as the thrill of flying. Experience: I have 1600 hours of total time and 300 hours of multi-engine. I specialize in crosswind training, mountain flying, and GPS instrument approach instruction. I have ben flying in the Bay Area for 10 years. Interests: I moved to Sacramento to be closer to the Sierra Nevadas... I enjoy skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, spelunking, mountain biking, and anything else that has me ascending, descending or traversing the hills. Goals: I would like to return to the medical profession and someday become an aero-medical rescue pilot. Quote: To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love flying, the sky is home and Vne is the limit!
