What happens

Private training stalls when the instructor changes: three instructors in one private certificate, restarted syllabi, stalled progress, money burned re-teaching.

The fix is one instructor. Davide Zambiasi has 2,000 hours of dual given, and his line is “If you start with me, you finish with me.” No handoffs, no restarts, no hour-building departure.

Lessons are on weekdays in the daytime at Orlando Apopka Airport (X04), in a Countrywide Flyers Cessna 172 or Piper Archer. Morning slots come before the afternoon convection. Every lesson ends with a written debrief.

What to bring

Non-US citizens need TSA alien-flight-student approval before flight training.

Training-plan consult

How many hours a private certificate takes is a question for the consult. It is a free, 30-minute sit-down that maps your certificate, realistic hours, and realistic cost. It is not a discovery flight.
