First Light Inc.

Michael helped me earn my private pilot's license in record time with no waste! He consistently made himself available for lessons long or short on my schedule. Before I knew it, I was flying at night, in Class B airspace, and more! He trains in a very nice and well-equipped Grumman. It was rigorous and confidence inspiring, and you won't find a more accommodating or flexible instructor who really wants you to succeed.

I'll say this, when I first started flying fixed wing, I was flying with a local and didn't feel like I was getting everything I needed far as a student pilot. I linked up with Capt Mike and immediately liked the way he did things. It wasn't just about making money, he took pride in seeing me progress as a student. When I didn't understand, he took the extra time to explain and wasn't in a rush. He's thorough and big on safety. I appreciate him and feel safe flying with him. If you have dreams of becoming a pilot, Mike is definitely the recommended CFI for the New Orleans metro area in my opinion!

I did my private pilot certificate and instrument rating with Michael. He has an advanced, by-the-book knowledge of aviation that only thousands of hours of experience can bring. He can recommend effective resources to help you study for your knowledge test, and he’ll work with you on your schedule to get your certificate and/or rating in the bag.

Michael is one of the safest, most conscientious CFIs out there. His plane is well maintained and state of the art, and the facilities in Reserve are solid. He genuinely cares about his students and has a vested interest in their success, whether their goals are personal or career oriented, and you will walk away a competent pilot with a certificate in hand.

Michael has provided me with everything I needed to begin my aviation career. From personalized lesson plans and convenient hours to accommodations for my physical disability, Michael has helped me throughout every step of my journey. If you have ever thought about becoming a pilot, I highly recommend giving Michael with First Light a call.

CFII Michael Brewster is an amazing flight instructor. He has coached me through earning my Private Pilots License and my Instrument Rating. I appreciate the fact that he enjoys being a teacher before anything. I highly recommend.
