Paul T. Carroccio, CFI
To hear Paul talk about his flying experience, one wonders why he waited until he was nearly thirty years old for his first airplane ride when he boarded an L-1011 for a trip to Florida. “I never had any reason to be on a plane before that”, says Paul, “but even before the wheels were up, I told my wife ‘I am going to learn how to fly’”. It took him a few years to find the time but in early 1982 he started lessons at Danbury (CT) airport. After obtaining his Private Pilot License in August 1982, Paul went on to get his Commercial, Instrument and Multi-Engine Ratings at Danbury. In between, he ventured to Vermont and met Dick Bovey, CFI and Flight Examiner, one of his mentors and to this day a good friend, who taught him the finer points of short and soft field operations. Paul credits his first lessons with Dick for his desire to become a CFI himself. Twenty plus years later, in May 2007, Paul obtained his Certified Flight Instructor Rating. Paul has flown as a First Officer in DC-s hauling everything from chickens to missiles; has a Single Engine Seaplane Rating and really enjoys tailwheel planes. He is a member of the State of Vermont Aviation Advisory Council and strongly endorses the AOPA where he has been a member for over 30 years.

"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky."
~Amelia Earhart

"More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination."
~Wilbur Wright

"Pilots are a rare kind of human. They leave the ordinary surface of the word, to purify their soul in the sky, and they come down to earth, only after receiving the communion of the infinite."
~Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra

Paul takes time to answer any questions you may have. He could detect when I was having a problem and would confidently guide me to a solution.

I recently completed my bi-annual flight review with Paul Carroccio and found the experience very rewarding.  Paul was patient and offered insight that I had not received before.
