Fly with Kate Bernard, CFII

I'm an FAA certified flight instructor for Tailwind Flight Center (formerly CAVU Aviation). I am available for sport, private, instrument, commercial, CFI, and CFII training, flight reviews, and aircraft rental checkouts.

I have been flying since 1998 and instructing since 2005. I graduated from the University of Dubuque with a bachelor of science degree in flight operations. My experience includes a wide variety of aircraft and airports, long cross-country trips, flying in busy airspace, mountain flying, and advanced avionics systems including the G1000. In the summer of 2007 I instructed for Able Flight, an organization which provides flight training scholarships for people with disabilities. I have a background in aircraft maintenance, avionics installation, and professional tutoring.

My number-one goal is to teach safe flying, and number two is to help students have fun in the process of learning to fly. My students and I are no strangers to the "hundred-dollar hamburger," real grass strips, and fly-in events. I strive to create training scenarios that not only teach the basic skills of flying, but teach the many fun uses of a pilot certificate.

If you are interested in learning to fly, or would like to purchase a gift certificate, please visit the discovery flight page or call me at Tailwind Flight Center's Neenah office: (920) 836-2566.
