What pilots say

From student pilots to seasoned instrument-rated flyers — here's what pilots have said after flying with Andrew.

Andrew made my flight review feel like a real learning experience rather than a checkbox exercise. He found gaps in my knowledge I didn't know I had and helped me fix them. Highly recommend.

Private Pilot · Springfield, MA

I came to Andrew for an IPC after being out of the IFR system for over a year. His knowledge of the G1000 was impressive and he kept the session challenging but not overwhelming. I left current and genuinely more confident.

James R.
Instrument-Rated Pilot · Westfield, MA

The online booking was super easy and the session itself was excellent. Andrew was patient, thorough, and clearly knows the PA-28 inside and out. Already referred two friends.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

What do I need to bring to my flight review? +
Bring your pilot certificate, government-issued photo ID, current medical certificate, logbook, and aircraft documents (airworthiness certificate, registration, POH, weight & balance). If you have an EFB or iPad you fly with, bring that too — it's useful to review your avionics workflow.
Can we use my aircraft? +
Absolutely — flying in your own aircraft is preferred. It means the review is directly relevant to how you actually fly. If you need a rental, reach out before booking and Andrew can help coordinate a suitable aircraft.
How long does a flight review take? +
The FAA requires a minimum of 1 hour of ground instruction and 1 hour of flight. In practice, most reviews run 2.5–3.5 hours total depending on your currency and areas of focus. An IPC typically runs similar or slightly longer given the instrument work involved.
What happens if I don't complete the review satisfactorily? +
A flight review is not a pass/fail test — it's a training event. If additional work is needed, Andrew will simply log dual instruction time and schedule a follow-up session. No record of an unsatisfactory review is submitted to the FAA.
Do you fly out of a specific airport? +
Andrew is based out of Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport (KBAF) in Springfield, MA. He is also available to meet at nearby airports throughout Western Massachusetts — contact him to discuss your home field.
Can I pay after my session instead of before? +
Payment in advance via Stripe helps confirm your booking and holds the slot. If you have a specific situation, reach out to Andrew directly at (413) 351-5756 or aserrazinacfi@gmail.com and he'll work with you.
How do I prepare for a checkride with you? +
Book a Checkride Prep session and Andrew will run a full mock oral and practical based on the current ACS for your certificate or rating. Come with your application documents, logbook, and any materials you'd bring to the real thing. The goal is to find weak spots before the examiner does.
