He was very knowledgeable about all versions of the TBM and the different avionics offered in today's aircraft. He was able to give me great insight on many of the characteristics of our TBM. Roger had a complete syllabus to follow which included ground school and hands on training in my aircraft. Thanks again for all of your valuable insight."

He is an extraordinary instructor with a calm and reasoned approach to the complexities of instrument, high performance, high altitude and turbine flying."
