Flying has always been something very special to me. I really love what I do.... sharing my passion of flying and seeing my students go on to become successful pilots is a feeling that is indescribable. I want your training to be the very best!

Having always longed to become a pilot, I started flying at the age of 14 and obtained my private pilot certificate at the age of 17. At 19 I became commercially certified and shortly thereafter I obtained my certified flight instructor certificate.

My goal is to help you become a very safe and proficient pilot all while having a lot of fun in an unparalleled training environment. Whether you train with myself or another one of our dedicated instructors, I can unconditionally guarantee that you will love flying with us!

Spencer H. Clark

Ever since I was four years old I wanted to be a pilot. That dream came true in the summer 2011 when I signed up for one of CAA's camps.

I started flying when I was 11 years old. On my 16th birthday I had the opportunity to solo for the first time. A short year later I received my private pilot certificate on my 17th birthday and then commercial pilot certificate on my 18th. I've learned so much over the years, and as they say, a great pilot is always learning. Through CAA, I share my passion with other students and guide them down the path to achieving their personal goals/becoming a pilot.

It's really shown me that anything you set your mind to is possible and to go run after your dreams. I've learned especially not to let anyone limit you by age. Flying is the most challenging yet most rewarding thing anyone can ever do... And I enjoy every minute of it! There is no question in my mind that I would do anything else but fly.

Flying has always been something that I am very passionate about. My dreams of being a pilot first came true at just twelve years old when I enrolled in the CAA Pilot Academy. After continuing on with CAA's training program for four years, I flew solo on my sixteenth birthday and obtained my Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating shortly after my seventeenth birthday.

Today I help to oversee CAA's day-to-day operations. Being able to have a role in the aviation industry and to help run a small business have been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experiences for me. I am so grateful that coming to work is something that I actually look forward to!

I feel incredibly privileged by my opportunity to learn and teach here in Centennial Aviation Academy, which is in my opinion is one of the finest institutions in the country. Flying here at CAA has been a humbling experience, exposing me to the beautiful art of piloting as well as rewarding me with awesome opportunities such as taking a little Piper Archer all the way across the country to Seattle. It's also a tremendous pleasure to work with professionals such as Rohan, Spencer, and Alex.

Aviation has been a life changing adventure and offered me a unique perspective on the world. I really look forward to sharing the the art of flight with as many people as possible as a flight instructor.
