Meet Hamilton Grant—one of the youngest Certified Flight Instructors at Thrust Flight. In this episode, Hamilton walks us through his accelerated path from high school to the right seat as a CFI. We talk about his time at Rising Aviation High School, how he got started at just 16, the challenges of commercial training, and what it’s like teaching students while still being early in his own career.

In this episode of Pilot’s Say What?, we sit down with CFI Nick, who specializes in training new flight instructors. Nick shares powerful tips for student pilots and future CFIs, including how to overcome the challenges of cross-control stalls, switching to the right seat, and building confidence with complex maneuvers. We also explore the mindset and discipline needed to thrive in aviation. Whether you’re early in flight training or prepping for your CFI checkride, this episode is packed with actionable advice!

In this episode, we welcome back a familiar face — a former Thrust Flight student who appeared on one of our earliest podcast episodes. Now, she's returned as a Certified Flight Instructor. We talk about her journey from brand-new student pilot to full-fledged CFI, the challenges she faced along the way, and what it’s like being on the other side of the cockpit now.
