Michael is a great flight instructor. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. I had Michael as a cfi for my PPL and I couldn’t have asked for a better CFI. He’s always willing to help if you put in the work and explains things in great details. 2 years later and I’m now a cfi and cfii and we are still contact; and gives me great advice I highly recommend Michael Bennet for your study needs.
