Andrew Russell
Flight Instructor
FAA Ratings: CFI | Student Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5.0/5.0)
For as long as I can remember, I have always had a strong drive and passion for aviation. I began my aviation career after receiving a scholarship from EAA for my Private Pilot License, and since then I have continued pursuing additional ratings and certifications. I attended ATP Flight School in Fort Myers, Florida, where I earned my Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License, and Multi-Engine Add-On. Afterward, I returned home to Maryland to complete my Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) training in Frederick.
