About Diana Crump
With 8 years of flying and a decade of experience in aviation safety, Diana brings a deep expertise to her field. Her knowledge is enhanced by both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Aviation Safety. When not immersed in her work, Diana savors her free time with family and friends, enriching her personal life with meaningful connections.
My philosophy as a CFI is to teach understanding, judgment, and discipline, not just the skills needed to pass a checkride. I believe the best pilots master the fundamentals and use superior judgment to avoid situations that require superior skill. My goal is to develop safe, confident aviators who respect both the airplane and the responsibility of flight.
