Passionate About Flight

Meet Rich Pickett — Pilot, Instructor, and Aviation Innovator

From my very first exploratory flight, aviation captured my heart. Over four decades later, my passion for flight continues to grow stronger every day. I’ve been privileged to fly privately and professionally across countless skies — yet each takeoff still feels like the first. Through my work as a high-performance flight instructor, aviation writer, and aircraft part designer, I’ve dedicated my life to helping pilots master their craft and fly with confidence.
