TESTIMONIALS

I recently received my instrument rating. Thanks to Kai and the always helpful staff at Airmotive. Kai is a very talented and knowledgeable instructor. His love for aviation and teaching was evident to me throughout my training, even taking phone calls at home to answer any questions I may have had. My schedule was very hectic while training, being that I am a full time student in Bemidji MN, and Kai was more than accommodating and helpful in getting me through the course in a manner that was fun and economical.

I look forward to working with Kai and the rest of the Airmotive staff for future pilot ratings.

Kai,

I would like to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" for the wonderful job of instructing you did in helping me attain my Instrument rating.  Additionally, I look forward to continuing to fly with you as I work to improve my instrument experience. 

Kai, as I shared with you, I started my instrument training with another instructor and had an awful experience.  I was about ready to chuck it when Howard Eichorn recommended that I contact you.  I am so thankful that I did. 
Your instruction style works!  Not only do I feel that I accomplished my goal of getting my instrument rating, but I also gained a friendship that I trust will last a lifetime. 

Best of Luck in your continued instruction and please know that I would be honored to give you a recommendation at any time.

Respectfully,

David L. Cochran

I am a flight instructor and was recently hired as a First Officer for a leading Regional Airline.  I have trained with Kai Brings, for both my Instrument and Instrument Instructor certificates.  Kai is the most knowledgeable, skilled and professional instructor that I have trained with or worked with in my flying career.   Being from Minnesota, I wanted to obtain the best instrument instruction available so I could feel confident flying in our region, which is known for its frequent instrument conditions.  Kai is very efficient in his instruction and makes good use of simulators in his training to compliment flying in the aircraft.  This greatly enhanced my understanding of various procedures prior to performing them in the aircraft.  In fact, my first flight in the aircraft with Kai was in a snowstorm in actual instrument conditions.  Unlike many instructors, Kai is completely at home training in actual instrument conditions and this experience gave me the confidence necessary to fly "in the soup" on my own right after receiving my certificate.  As time passed I decided to obtain my Instrument Instructor certificate and Kai's encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of instrument flight made him my first choice for this training as well. I would recommend Kai to anyone who is serious about seeking first class flight instruction that will prepare them for the real world of instrument flying. Sincerely, Chris Johnson

Kai is a true professional flight instructor, yet he makes learning a relaxed,  fun experience.  When I was a student pilot, he encouraged me when I lacked self confidence and motivated me to continue when it seemed as though  I couldn't grasp a concept or master a skill.   The safety of his students and airplane are his top priority.  He always made sure that I was both physically and mentally ready to fly prior to our lessons.  Ground school and actual flight lessons were done at my pace and Kai was extremely willing to adjust whenever possible to my schedule during my flight training.  Learning to fly has been a rewarding experience and as I continue to learn, Kai will be my instructor.       Rod  Damar,  Private Pilot with 90 hours

Kai: As I've mentioned to you in the past , It was sure a pleasure to finish my instrument training with you in my 185. I had some time in with an old timer who just couldn't get thru my thick head what I needed to know,especially when it came to approaches.He taught me some good basic stuff and we parted friends,and still fly together some,but when I got with you it all came together quickly. I particularly enjoyed our rainy day class room sessions,with your explanations of weather , approaches , and priming for the oral part of check ride. I learned from you ,much about the Garmin 430, along with neat little tips like how to use the dot on the attitude indicator.  Your positive attitude about having me ready at a certain date,and scheduling the check ride when I doubted I'd be ready gave me a real desire to win and we made it! Thanks for helping me to get my license to learn. I'll be looking forward to some further instruction from you in the near future, because getting the rating is just the start, proficiency will be the next phase. Share this with anyone you care to and tell them to feel free to call me,or E-mail . It would be my pleasure to recommend your services to anyone.

To whom it may concern,

It is my privilege to write a letter of recommendation for Kai Brings. Several years ago while looking for a 7 or 10 day accelerated instrument rating program, I was fortunate enough to meet Kai. While I felt adequately prepared upon arrival to the flight school, I was not sure any instructor could have a person trained for the practical test in 10 days.

Through concentrated training in the simulator, airplane and ground instruction, he had me done in only 6 days! I had to wait almost as long for the appointment with the examiner due to weather!

Kai is a skilled motivator and trainer. He doesn't just train you for the check ride either, he makes sure you understand the “real world” implications of your decisions and actions. I have returned to Kai for additional ratings since then and have never been disappointed.

I have not met very many people with the passion for aviation that Kai has, and he comes armed with the expertise and people skills necessary as well. I believe Kai to be one of the finest flight instructors in the industry!
