GA Single
Instrument Rating
Michael M. - West Houston, TX
"I attribute the level of proficiency I've attained as an instrument-rated GA pilot to the time I spent training with Scott Hutchinson CFII. Scott has developed a unique style and system of instruction based upon his years of experience as both pilot and CFII. Training was much more than simple instrument checkride preparation - it was about becoming a proficient and safe pilot!
Among the concepts included in his training are 'buttonology' which refers to the instrument pilot's ability to correctly and efficiently operate all avionics, automation, and cockpit systems while under workload. Other concepts that you will master under Scott's tutelage include stabilized approaches, establishing risk-based minimums commensurate with your skill level, single pilot resource management, and more.
I'd highly recommend Scott for any pilot desiring to become a competent and confident instrument pilot. His level of professionalism, patience, and commitment to aviation instruction is unparalleled. The greatest testament to his skill set as instructor is that I still schedule training sessions with Scott to further refine my skills and capabilities as an instrument-rated GA pilot."

Transition Training
James R. - Lago Vista, TX
"I completed my Cessna P210 transition training with Scott Hutchinson, and it was a great experience. The training included cross-country flights, IFR flying, instrument approaches, and lots of landings. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable about the aircraft and procedures, and his instruction was always clear and practical.
What stood out most was his patience and calm teaching style. He made the learning process comfortable and efficient, and I finished the training feeling confident and well-prepared in the P210. I'd highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for solid, professional flight instruction."

Transition + IPC
Marc H. - Shreveport, LA
"Recently bought a P210 and needed transition training from my 182. Was recommended Scott from several sources and couldn't have been happier.
We went over everything under the sun, and then some. Finishing with a challenging IPC, I left fully proficient and confident in the 210 platform. Engine management to emergency procedures, it was all great instruction. Can't recommend enough."

Transition Training
Josh B. - Houston, TX
"Scott Hutchinson is the kind of flight instructor every pilot hopes to find but few actually do. His depth of knowledge, calm demeanor, and ability to explain complex concepts in plain English made every lesson both productive and genuinely enjoyable. Scott has a talent for knowing exactly when to challenge you and when to step in with reassurance, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety and good judgment. You never feel rushed, talked down to, or left guessing—he makes sure you get it before moving on.
On top of all that, Scott brings just the right amount of humor into the cockpit. Whether it was a perfectly timed joke during a tense maneuver or a dry comment after a 'learning opportunity' of a landing, he kept things light without ever losing professionalism. Training with Scott didn't just make me a better pilot—it made the process something I actually looked forward to. If aviation had Yelp reviews, Scott would be a solid five stars with a note that says, 'Will absolutely fly with again.'"
