I have had a number of students tell me I should put a “testimonial” page on my site, so finally, after 4 years, I am putting one in place. Here are some recent testimonials: Carlos M. Poveda, Lt Col, USAF (Ret)

In 1999, my CFII/MEI expired because of an oversight on my part, and since then I have been searching for the right flight school to reinstate my privileges, but was unable to find it.
As luck would have it and with the help of a powerful search engine, I came across the CFI C.A.R.E website. The site offered a variety of add-on CFI certificates as well as a reinstatement option. This was it! I finally found the right school.
I called Gary Kruger, CFI C.A.R.E owner, to find out more information about the training, and his attitude was so good, I immediately scheduled my training date.
As advertised, the course called for a one day of training with Gary and the oral and evaluation flight the next day, but inclement weather with very low ceilings extended my training one extra day. Not a problem, because I really needed the extra day to study and prep for the training and check flight.
The ground and flight training were first rate and on the spot. Gary provided all required materials and thoroughly prepared me for my flight test.
It was an outstanding experience, and I will recommend it to any of my military flight instructor colleagues.
Thanks for the great experience!

For years I have wanted to reinstate my long-expired Flight Instructor’s Rating, but never seemed to find enough free time to go through the process. A friend suggested that I check out CFI C.A.R.E. as they advertized a program designed to do exactly what I needed.
On May 25th, Gary Kruger of CFI C.A.R.E. completed my reinstatement training in one eight-hour session including 1.5 hours of recurrent flight training. He scheduled my oral and check-ride with a local FAA Designee for the 26th of May. The whole process was completed by 15:00 on the second day.
In spite of his clever “CFI C.A.R.E.” logo, Gary really does care. He is a consummate professional flight instructor and gave me a thorough tune-up. All required materials were provided. I felt well-prepared for my check-ride.
The whole experience was a real pleasure. I would recommend Gary’s program to anyone with a similar desire to get their CFI Rating reinstated.
Thank you Gary!!! Chris Evans, CFI (Who won’t let it expire this time.) falconjet@comcast.net 360-303-3311

I received my instructors rating in 1971. I then instructed from 1971 to 1981. After 1981, I started a greenhouse, and got away from the instructing. I have since retired in 2006, and decided to get my CFI back for part time instruction.
I started to do the work for my CFI at a local airport, and found that the drive to and from became very time consuming. I saw an ad in Trade-A-Plane magazine for CFI reinstatement, and decided to investigate. After talking with Gary Kruger, I decided that it would be in my best interest to fly to Houston and receive my CFI rating.
Gary stated that it would be a 3 day process in Houston, and it turned out to only be 1 day of instruction, with a check ride the 2nd day. I am very pleased with the whole process and result that I experienced with CFI C.A.R.E. I would recommend this to any CFI candidate.

Choosing a flight instructor to help you achieve your goals is often difficult. Not knowing what is expected of you in order to accomplish your next pilot rating can make you lose sleep. This makes CFI C.A.R.E. worth considering.
Gary Kruger of CFI C.A.R.E. is a professional educator with a business like approach to training. Gary has found a niche in flight training by offering CFI Add-On, CFII Add-On, CFI reinstatement, and CFI Oral Prep for the initial CFI certificate. Instead of trying to be all things to all pilots, Gary is an expert in CFI certificates. Gary has created a series of affordable, no non-sense, to the point, courses that allow the average CFI/CFII add-on and CFI reinstatement candidate to complete a course in just a few days.
I made an appointment with Gary to do a CFI Add-On to my CFII certificate. Gary emailed a study guide that included the required practical test requirements, oral study questions and answers, and a likely flight profile for the practical test. Additional study materials provided after arriving for training included the aircraft manuals to be used for the practical test. Everything else was included in the study guide.
Gary and I spent the first day preparing for the oral exam and flying the flight profile. Gary has a long history with a couple of local DPE’s, which usually means that there should be few surprises for the practical. Other than the normal delays inherent to aviation, the courses are designed to move forward swiftly.
I recommend Gary Kruger and CFI C.A.R.E. for any instructor that is considering an add-on or reinstatement. If you are working toward your initial CFI certificate, consider the prep course for the oral exam. You will find it difficult to find more efficient and better prepared courses.

Gary at CFI CARE was excellent. His course materials were excellent and his flight instruction was first class. Gary's experience, professionalism, and easy going personality make his courses highly recommended. If you choose CFI CARE you are making a great decision. THANKS AGAIN GARY!
