About Your Instructor
A first-generation pilot who teaches in a way that sticks.
Ahviyona Floyd didn't grow up in a family of pilots. She built her career from the ground up, certificate by certificate, hour by hour, as a first-generation pilot earning every rating on her own. Her training came through a rigorous, full-time professional flight academy designed to produce sharp, well-prepared aviators, where she completed the full ladder from Private through CFI-I and MEI. That journey is fresh in her mind, which is exactly what makes her one of the most patient, intentional instructors you'll ever fly with.
As a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Instrument Instructor (CFI-I), and Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), Ahviyona offers the full ladder of training, from your very first discovery flight to your commercial checkride. Her students get more than stick time. They get a leader, a mentor, and someone who genuinely loves teaching this craft.
Off the flight deck, she's an active member of her church and a believer in showing up for her community. On the deck, she's all business: sharp on procedures, calm under pressure, and unwilling to sign you off until you're truly ready.

WHAT I TEACH
