Meet Your Instructors

Three career instructors. You will fly with the same one from your first lesson to your skills test.

Chris

Head of Training

Chris leads training at Sama and owns every syllabus, stage check and standardisation flight we run. He came up through instructing rather than around it, and he still flies with students most days of the week. If you are starting from zero, Chris is usually the one who maps out your route to a licence.

Ryan

Flight Instructor

Ryan flies the bulk of our primary training and instrument work. He is meticulous about the brief and the debrief, so you finish every lesson knowing exactly what went well, what did not, and what you are working on next time.

Henry

Flight Instructor, 20+ Years

Two decades and counting in the right seat. Henry has taught most of the ratings on our list more times than he can count, and he is the instructor students ask for when something is not clicking. He has almost certainly seen it before, and he knows three different ways to fix it.
