We know that flight training is hard and expensive! Founder Dan Weecks created DW Aviation, LLC after his having gone through flight training himself. This company was founded on the principle that flight training and knowledge should be accessible to everyone, regardless of upbringing, education level, or other circumstances. Dan modeled DWA’s boutique flight training services after gaps he noticed in his own flight training experiences with instruction provided, professionalism, and transparency. His mission with DWA was to offer a full range of competitively priced à la carte flight training services to pilots who own their own aircraft, while still maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism. In fact, Dan is so committed to helping students learn about aviation that DW Aviation, LLC offers a FREE library of resources available to anyone interested in aviation. These resources can be found on the “Resources” page.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, DWA changed its model to being an online education provider, offering online remote ground school and no flight instruction.

“I’ve only known Dan for a few short months, but in that time I have learned more from him than I thought possible.
Dan’s organization is out of this world, and his overall flow and use of acronyms really helped me take my flying to the next level.
Dan really knows his stuff and I would definitely recommend DW Aviation, LLC to anyone considering aviation as a part of their future.”

“I enjoyed training for my PPL under Dan. As a beginner, Dan helped me to become comfortable with the aircraft and went above and beyond with coaching me through ground school. Flying with him really helped me to become less nervous and he was there with me every step of the way.”
