Mark Kolber, CFI/CFII

Like many who fly for personal business or pleasure, Mark Kolber came to aviation later in life. Mark had been interested in flying since childhood, but his first three lessons were a birthday gift from his wife, hoping to get the desire out of his system. She claims she hasn’t seen him since. Thirty years later, Mark is a single-engine commercial pilot and CFI/CFII. He focused early on pilots coming to flying in mid-life as he did and provided many hours of mountain flight instruction during his 20 years in Colorado. Now primarily involved in transition and recurrent training, Mark also brings the perspective of an attorney who has represented pilots, mechanics and businesses in FAA enforcement and other aviation-related matters. He speaks to both legal and pilot groups, is a regular contributor to IFR Magazine, and is a member of the Pilot Workshops IFR Mastery team.

Moises began flying in 2021 to make it a long-lasting career and one day fly for the airlines. He graduated from a part 141 school in Smithfield, NC with the CFI and CFI-I certificate, where he did all of his training in the DA40. The airline dream being quite far, Moises prioritizes helping those who also have a passion for aviation, whether recreationally or professionally.
