Richard Bertoli, Regional Chief Pilot / Operations Manager - rbertoli@AirSharesElite.com

An active member of the Cirrus Standardized Instructor Program (CSIP) and an expert on GPS for IFR operations, Rich continues to ride the cutting edge of aviation, from advancements in flight training technology to human factors study and adult learning concepts. He was instrumental in the acceptance of AirShares Elite's SR22 Transition Training Program by the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) partnership and has also made major contributions to Cirrus Pilot Proficiency Program (CPPP) presentation material. He has appeared on CNN and numerous local networks as an aviation consultant and representative of the Cirrus flight training community.

Rich believes that flight safety requires a commitment to education from not only the flight instructing community, but also the weekend private pilot. When a critical decision needs to be made, knowledge is more than just power. Hurtling through the clouds at over 200 mph, several thousand feet above the ground, it could be the difference between a successful mission and a very bad day.

Bill Schillinger , Flight Instructor

A retired airline pilot, Bill Schillinger particularly likes the Cirrus with its roominess, traveling utility, peace of mind, and gadgetry that he was used to. Okay—that is quite a stretch since Bill’s previous 7000 hours were as Training Captain in the Boeing 747-400!. But like Bill’s airline, AirShares does not make him pull it out of the hangar or push it back—they make sure it is fueled, ready and waiting when he goes to fly. Bill is also an aviation safety professional, meteorologist and former Air Force Hurricane Hunter who owns and operates a training center, FlightSpectrum, in midtown Manhattan.
