Phil Dietro, President of Inland Paraflite, Inc. is an FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) with a Sport pilot rating for Powered Parachute Land, (PPL) or what we refer to as Powered Parachutes.
He is also a UFIE (Ultralight Flight Instructor Examiner) through EAA.
The
UFIE is authorized to test other UFI candidates & perform the Practical
Test & check flights, & recommend a student to receive their UFI rating.
Having this rating in addition to the sport pilot CFI rating will allow me to
continue to fly & train in the current fleet of trainers flying under the training
exemption, allowing students to transition to the Sport Pilot rating.
Phil has been flying powered parachutes since August of 1992, and has tremendous experience that he shares with all his students.
One of our goals is to constantly update our training material and actual flight training as student needs may require. You will find that Phil is both a competent instructor & pilot, and is very professional in his training, and he expects the best from his students.
In addition to instruction, you will find him handling the operations of the business. Phil & Stu’s primary goal is providing you a safe, fun and exciting experience in Powered Parachute instruction and flying enjoyment.
Stu Dietro has been flying since July, 1992. He was the first place winner of the 1997 NAPPF (North American Powered Parachute Federation) Championships, holds an AFI rating. The AFI is certified to test and certify other instructors to the BFI (Basic Flight Instructor) level. After completing all required flying and instructor and academic training do you receive a BFI rating. Stu Dietro has a background in heavy vehicle (fire fighting equipment) repair. He's a full time fire fighter engineer. He's mastered both flying the ParaPlane and instructing, passing on that knowledge to others in the highest degree of refinement.
We have a great deal of involvement with the Powered Parachute industry and your instruction, including knowledge, experience and commitment. This allows YOU to relax and enjoy...
