Mark Pshichenko
CFI,CFII, & MEI
Hello! I’m Mark, a CFI, CFII and a MEI. Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve had a passion for flying. It’s something I truly love, and I enjoy sharing that excitement by teaching others how to fly. If my schedule is open and you'd like to go flying on short notice, please give me a heads-up of about 90 minutes in advance, and I’ll be happy to make it happen. Thank you!
