“Had the privilege of learning to fly under Mark Kadrich back in 2021 and 2022. Will never forget when he signed me off for my first solo! Fast forward to today and I am now an airline pilot, will always be grateful for the fundamentals taught that have brought me to where I am today!”

"Mark at Maverick Aviation is the best A&P and flight instructor we have had the pleasure of working with. We arrived from the east coast to purchase a Cessna 150 and elected to do an annual assist vs a pre buy. Mark is a great teacher but demands strict compliance with all work. We appreciated his attention to detail since we were preparing the C150 for a trip back east to North Carolina. It was a great learning experience for my wife and I as we cleaned plugs, removed wheel bearings etc and this was exactly what we had signed on for. In addition, Mark is a flight instructor and was able to get me current in the new aircraft.
All things considered, our experience couldn't be improved on, it was great fun and we learned so much from Mark. We left and flew almost 3000 miles across mountains and desert feeling we knew our aircraft and it was airworthy.
Best of all, we made new friends."

"Mark helped me with transition training for a new-to-me complex airplane. Great instructor, very safe flying and efficient teaching style.
Good humor, and he really cares about his PPL students.
Mark also does maintenance on the school fleet, and his students can learn hands-on how the planes work - a rare opportunity!
Overall a very good experience, I highly recommend him!"

"Great, working with Mark on our pre buy inspection. I am a first time buyer and he took the extra time to walk me through the process and offered for me to sit in on the pre buy. I would use Maverick aviation again for sure!"

“Top tier flight school! They prioritize creating safe and perceptive pilots.”
Vijay Tiwary
“I completed my Private Pilot training with Maverick Aviation. They are an exceptional school that will turn you into an aviator. They excel at helping you become a safe and capable pilot, with a strong focus on fundamentals and understanding the ‘why’ behind the ‘what.’ Mark, the lead instructor, and my instructor Julian were fantastic. They were flexible in tailoring both the schedule and learning approach to my needs. On top of that, Mark is an aircraft and powerplant mechanic, so I never had to deal with aircraft downtime for maintenance.
Happy flying.”

“Mark is a joy and a wonderful teacher. He has the rare combination of deep knowledge and a clear command of teaching skills, and he teaches from the heart. His passion comes from his love for both people and aviation.
I trust him with my life.”
Chad Hardcastle
“Excellent training center! The entire instruction team makes sure you not only gain the knowledge of flight, but truly understand it and how it applies to different aspects of becoming a pilot. They work with your schedule and availability.
I highly recommend them.”

“Big five stars to Maverick Aviation! I got to know Mark, (Owner) when doing an owner assist annual inspection on my Cessna 182 where he was the certified A&P. He was very knowledgeable and took time to explain how it is done and the cause and effects when it's not done right.
Now, Maverick Aviation is my go to for all my needs, which includes flight instructions. Mark will not cut corners and doesn't need to build time like other CFI's that I have had. You will learn the necessary skills to be a professional pilot!!”
