An independent instructor — not an academy.
I'm Kyle Muir, a commercial pilot and independent flight instructor based in Salt Lake City. Multi-engine training is where I focus, and I run it the way it should be run: direct, one-on-one, and built around the pilot in the seat.
Commercial Pilot — Airplane Single- and Multi-Engine Land, Instrument rated. Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI), Instrument Instructor (CFII), and Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), with roughly 1,108.7 total hours. I train in client-owned aircraft or coordinate access to a Cessna 172, Piper Seneca II, or Cessna T210 depending on the mission.
Flexible scheduling
No fleet queue or fixed class blocks. We schedule around your availability and training goals.
One-on-one focus
Every hour is dedicated instruction — personalized to how you learn and how fast you progress.
Transparent pricing
Clear hourly rates. Aircraft and instruction are stated separately so you always know the real cost.
Services
Focused multi-engine and advanced training, plus the transition and ferry work that comes with moving up to faster, more capable aircraft.
Multi-Engine Instruction
Accelerated AMEL training in a Piper Seneca II. Build the engine-out discipline, systems knowledge, and single-pilot workflow that make a confident multi-engine pilot.
MEI Prep
Preparing to add the Multi-Engine Instructor rating? Train with an active MEI on the teaching-from-the-right-seat skills and checkride standards that matter.
Endorsements
High-performance and complex endorsement training in a Cessna T210. Proficiency-based — I sign the endorsement when you have demonstrated the required standard, not before.
Aircraft Transitions
Moving into a faster, heavier, or more complex airplane — including your own? Structured transition training built around the exact aircraft you'll be flying.
Ferry Services
Need an aircraft moved? Ferry and repositioning flights handled by a commercial multi-engine, instrument-rated pilot. Discuss the mission and routing directly.
Train In Your Own Aircraft
Own a twin or complex airplane? I come to you. One-on-one instruction in your aircraft on your schedule — no fleet queue, no academy overhead.
Transparent pricing
Aircraft and instruction are always itemized separately, so you see the real cost of training. Rates below are current; final estimates depend on your goals and starting proficiency.
Instruction
- Instruction in your own aircraft$40/hr
- Ground instruction$40/hr
If you own a multi-engine or complex aircraft, this is often the most cost-effective path — you pay for instruction only.
Piper Seneca II — Multi-Engine
- Aircraft (dry)$250/hr
- Instruction$60/hr
- Combined, plus fuel$310/hr + fuel
The Seneca II aircraft rate is dry — fuel is billed separately and is not included in the $310/hr combined rate. You pay for the fuel actually used.
Cessna 172 (when a single is the right fit)
- Aircraft $160/hr wet + instruction $60/hr$220/hr
Single combined rate — no block discount on the 172.
Cessna T210 — High-Performance & Complex Endorsement Package
This is a package price for the endorsement training service, not a general aircraft rental rate. The package includes:
- Use of the Cessna T210
- Fuel
- Ground time
- Additional training if proficiency takes longer than planned
Important: Payment does not guarantee an endorsement. Per 14 CFR 61.31(e) and (f), I must determine that you have demonstrated the required proficiency before issuing the high-performance and complex endorsements. There is no fixed hour guarantee — the package covers the training needed to reach that standard.
T210 10-hour block (separate from the endorsement package)
- Aircraft $140/hr dry + instruction $40/hr$180/hr
$1,800 for 10 hours, plus fuel (dry rate). Good for instrument and commercial applicants building high-performance/complex time.
