Marco C.

I learned to fly in England fifteen years ago and received my pilot's license before I'd taken my first driving lesson. Following a passion and enchantment with all things aviation I'm now a flight instructor and enjoy sharing the excitement of flying with others.

I have experience flying over 45 different airplane types and hold the following F.A.A. licenses: Flight Instructor (Airplane Single Engine; Instrument Airplane); Advanced Ground Instructor; Commercial Pilot (Instrument Airplane: Single and Multi Engine Land); Private Pilot (Single Engine Sea).

When I'm not in the air I work in corporate strategy for a technology company, before which I was an engineering consultant after attending graduate school at Cambridge and Stanford. I enjoy long distance running, road biking, and am a volunteer search and rescue pilot with the Civil Air Patrol.

Marco is amazing! We gave my son a flying lesson with Marco for his 14th birthday--when our son landed, he told us it was the best experience of his life. Marco not only took our son and two friends on a breathtaking tour of the Bay Area, but he patiently taught the boys a lot about aeronautics. My son enjoyed his time with Marco so much that he is now taking flying lessons with him. I am a huge fan of Pardic Air!

Marco is great - very insightful, knows how to transfer his pasion of flying onto noobs. Warmly recommended!

Marco rocks - he's patient, LOVES flying (and it shows!), thorough, a very skilled pilot, and excited to show you a great time! Go on one of his Learn How to Fly tours. You WON'T regret it!
