Learning to fly with Mr. Harwood was very easy. He taugh me everything I needed to know and explained it so it was easy to learn. My confidence level was high when I did my first solo flight in my new single seat PPC. Now I'm ready to enjoy my love of flying for the rest of my life. Terry Unger, Mini Breeze 103
I would highly recommend Michael for powered parachute training. I found him to be extremely thorough and detail oriented and explained why certain things were necessary. His method of teaching safety and collision avoidance instead of just teaching someone to fly is top notch and will save lives and prevent injuries. His teaching method also put someone who is extremely afraid of heights at ease and allowed me to ease into the program and now enjoy flying immensely. Scott Dungey, Raptor
I was very satisfied with my training. Michael over prepared me for both my written test and oral not to mention the flying skills which enabled me to nail all of these on my first try. I hope Michael gets to fly in another John Deere green plane! Michael's training is focused on safety which I really appreciate. Because of my training, I feel confident in my flying abilities. If you want to learn to fly, just call Michael. Carl W Rose, Powrachute Pegasus
I recently completed CFI training with Michael. He taught me new things, helped me to sharpen my flying skills as well as taught me how to teach. Michael is a very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and top notch instructor, who really focuses on his student's success. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting quality training for their sport license or CFI rating in a Powered Parachute.
Scott Jessen, CFI, Powrachute Pegasus
Becoming a CFI is not easy. It proved to be a lot of work but worth it. Only a true professional can train a Sport Pilot to the CFI level and Michael is that professional! Thanks to his excellent CFI training course, the oral and practical was a breeze. I will not hesitate to send anyone to him for training.
Jim Dees,CFI, Powrachute Airwolf
Michael was very professional and thorough in his teaching methods. He prepared me well for my Sport Pilot oral and flight test, which I passed easily on the first attempt. He was also very informative on the PPC itself and taught me a lot about my machine and power plant. I learned so much from Michael, that I would highly recommend Michael for training.
Bob Barody, Blue Herron
From my first phone conversation with Michael, I knew I was going to be trained by a professional. He has an extensive knowledge of powered parachutes, aviation and knows how to teach. If you're looking for a Sport Pilot instructor, I highly recommend him.
Dale Boudreau, Infinity Commander
Michael always stresses safety in every lesson. I am 78 years old and have been flying since 1949. The simplicity of the powered parachute has given me many more good flying years. I thank Michael for such a good job of instructing.
Phil Smith, Buckeye Dream Machine
Before training started, Michael discovered many safety issues with my Destiny. He took the time to help me correct them and made other equipment and hardware recommendations. I completed the accelerated training course in 14 days. I scored a 92 on my knowledge test and passed my check ride with flying colors. I recommend Michael to anyone seeking a professional flight instructor. Dwight Coursey, Destiny
I am very pleased with the training. Michael made sure that I had all training materials available to pass my Knowledge Test and Practical Test. Michael taught me the proper way to use two-way radio communication at the airport. I learned how to maintain and upgrade my machine while going through this accelerated course. I truly recommend Michael for training. Tam Huynh, Destiny
I had a very good training experience with Michael. He has an excellent knowledge of aviation and powered parachutes. I passed my oral and practical exam without any trouble and feel confident in my flying skills. He is an excellent instructor and I recommend his training sport pilot training services. Steve Daws, Powrachute Pegasus
Training with Michael was extensive, thorough and he made each training flight enjoyable. He places a strong emphasis on safety and is a top-notch instructor.
Glen Church, Buckeye Dream Machine
I added a powered parachute rating to my private pilot certificate. I was impressed with Michael's training methods and his attention to details. From preflight to post flight, he was thorough in his explanations.
Jim Luczynsk, Buckeye Breeze
I fly a single seat ultralight at a GA airport. Michael was a little tough on me about safety around the airport and I have learned a lot. He also found some safety problems with my older ultralight, which I corrected. He is a good instructor. Ray Law, Parasender 103
