Yesterday, I received my instrument rating after spending nine very enjoyable days in the cockpit with AFIT instructor, Lou Fausak. When I arrived in Dallas I would have bet that it couldn’t be done. But Mr. Fausak, with his vast experience and professionalism, assured me that I would be a good and highly capable instrument pilot when I finished my training. He was right!

I want to thank you for recommending Lou to be my instructor. He is not only a passionate aviator, his tremendous knowledge and experience makes him a pilot’s pilot. He challenges his students to be precise and succeeds in developing them to be safe, sound and quality (instrument) pilots. I am also proud to call Lou a friend and look forward to returning to Dallas for more of his expert training in the future. I will also be proud to recommend AFIT to my pilot friends and acquaintances.
