A long time CFI at NCFC, Ebrahim is a familiar face to many students. Ebrahim got his pilot ratings at this very flight school and continues that tradition with his own students. Ebrahim instructs part-time and loves helping students discover their joy of flight.
John Gorgoglione
Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI)
As someone with a varied background in aviation, including flying at the University of North Dakota (UND) in their Part 141 program, John recently achieved all his ratings in less than 15 months, and is happy to help his students achieve their ratings in a similar (or faster) pace. In training, John heavily emphasizes the practical knowledge and skills students must have to be safe and effective pilots.
