DAVEAIR - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Owner & Flight Instructor
After spending many of his years growing up around planes, David decided to pursue a career in aviation and graduated from NLU with a Bachelor's in Aviation Business. He then went on to become an Air Force mechanic. His first professional job as a pilot was running a freight operation on a multi-engine craft in Alaska. He describes the Alaskan flight terrain as an "aviation playground." After his experiences in Alaska, David became an Ameristar Jet Charter pilot where he got two type ratings with jet experience. David then turned to a career in crop dusting for 14 years, establishing DaveAir in January of 2006.
Jerrica received her pilot training from ATP Flight School at locations in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Arlington, Texas, completing the Airline Career Pilot Program successfully with no failures. She is a Monroe native who grew up watching airplanes coming into land over the Pecanland Mall parking lot in awe. Now she gets to be one of those airplanes coming into land, and even better, she gets to teach other aspiring pilots to do the same.
Whether you are looking to begin your aviation career with a Private Pilot License, double your engines with a Multiengine Add-on certificate, or improve your piloting skills with an Instrument Rating, Jerrica can help. She has her Commercial Pilot License in ASEL and AMEL, and she has a CFI, CFII, and MEI. Her favorite airplane is the C-5 Galaxy.
Tom has been instructing continuously since 1971 and holds a Commercial Pilot certificate and a CFII.
