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
Training tailored to where you are and where you're going.
Every pilot's path is different. Whether you're starting from zero, knocking the rust off,
or chasing a new rating, we'll build a syllabus around your schedule, your aircraft, and your goals.
01 — Certificate
Private Pilot Training
Ground school, pre-solo prep, cross country, and checkride readiness. Everything you need to earn your Private Pilot Certificate from first lesson to oral exam.
02 — Rating
Instrument Pilot Training
Master flying by reference to instruments, including approaches, holds, departures, and IFR system navigation. Instrument training is currently conducted in your aircraft.
03 — Certificate
Commercial Pilot Training
Sharpen precision maneuvers, refine your aeronautical decision-making, and step into the commercial standard. The first move toward turning flying into a career.
04 — Proficiency
Currency Flights
Stay legal, stay sharp. Knock out your 90-day takeoffs and landings, instrument approaches, or just regain that comfort behind the yoke after time away.
05 — Required
Flight Reviews (BFR)
Your every-two-year requirement done right. Ground review plus an hour in the air that's genuinely educational, not just a box to check.
06 — Required
Instrument Proficiency Checks
Restore your IFR currency with a focused IPC. We'll cover the regs, the maneuvers, and the approaches needed to get you legally back in the soup.

10 — Simulation
Simulator Training
