Thanks! I got a lot out of the training and I'll almost certainly try to catch up with you again. You got me out of my comfort zone and found several blind spots - which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Thanks again for your excellent training. Every year you teach me new things. I feel challenged yet motivated to be a better and safer pilot. I reported to my insurance carrier that you are the best PA46 instructor I have flown with.

Thanx for all of the great instruction and training.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for my training course this week. I learned a lot from you and believe it or not I put a lot of the material to use today.

As a passenger, I'd say the flight was very smooth and Don knew what he was doing. It was great. Thanks

You have the very interesting skill of teaching without tension. Your style allowed me to focus on the why and then practice the how, which means much of what you taught will actually become part of my skill set and not just something I dust off for the next BFR. I learned much (old dogs start thinking they already know it all) and am incorporating much of what I learned into my routine.

Just thought I would send you this e-mail in hopes of extending my utmost appreciation to you for my past instrument training. Your knowledge of my Saratoga Avidyne glass panel taught me so much more than I would have gotten with any other instructor and all of that with a bit of humor as well. It’s been a real pleasure in learning with you. I will continue to work with you for my multiengine rating very soon. Once again I Thank You!

Highly recommend! But, the pilots had better be prepared for an exacting task master. Thoroughly teaches all systems and procedures. I thanked him for helping me break a bad landing habit developed over the past 15 years. I now, once again, land with the precision and professionalism that I did when I was a full time fighter and Saberliner pilot. Covers every aspect of professional flying.

As a new member who just recently joined MMOPA, I just wanted to say that the MMSTF Seminar was the best money I ever spent. I had an amazing experience and learned a lot. John Mariani presented a wealth of knowledge and training tips. His experience and presentation style made his seminar enjoyable and entertaining. Dave McVinnie who flew with me also pointed out lots of details on our pre-flight. I thoroughly enjoyed flying with him.

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent training you provided today. I found it very enjoyable and informative. I look forward to our next flight. Thanks again.

Dave:
Many thanks for flying with me for the last 5 months (yes, it's been that long) and the first-rate instruction. I learned a lot, and hope I'm a better pilot.
