ABOUT DEMETRIOS

Aviation isn't just my work.

I became interested in aviation as a young man. At 20, I knew flying was the direction I wanted to take. After building the financial foundation to pursue it seriously, I completed my ratings by age 27. Today, aviation is what I live and breathe.

I'm a CFI and CFII with more than 1,200 total flight hours and three years of flight-instruction experience. Born in Panama and raised in Florida, I'm fluent in both English and Spanish and work with pilots from a wide range of backgrounds.

My training is built around preparing students to meet the applicable standards confidently—not simply getting them to checkride day. I have experience working with local examiners and familiarity with the checkride process in the South Florida area, along with experience preparing applicants for FAA-administered practical tests.
