Scooter Mainero - Flight Instructor

Ratings

ATP-AMES, AMEL, ASES, ASEL / PRIV - GLIDER

Scooter grew up in Boulder, CO where he first learned to fly.

He built most of his flight time flying skydivers and towing gliders.

Currently, he is a flight instructor for Tailwheels Etc. during the Winter months. The other 6 months of the year, he is an Alaskan Bush Pilot.

Scooter's flight experience is extensive. He has done verything from flying Tailwheels' 1940 Stearman, as a stunt double for a TV show, to landing on glaciers in back country Alaska.

He is one of our most popular flight instructors. His easy-going personality and diversity of interests make even our most skittish students feel at ease.

His high pass-rate is due to the fact that he can get his students to learn all they need to pass their checkrides, yet still find time to make his students feel like one of the Tailwheels Etc. family.
