Personal Wings

Personal Wings is a flight training and aircraft brokerage business based in San Diego, California. The owner, Rich Pickett, teaches high performance, turboprop and light jet flying. He is a certified flight instructor with many type ratings listed on the site.

Flight training covers type ratings for jets such as the SF50, CE500, C510S, C525S, DA10, EA500S, L39, L29 and RA390S. The site also lists recurrent training, high performance training, advanced weather and situational awareness, instrument approaches, mountain flying and systems training.

Online avionics training is a major part of the business. The site offers courses for Collins Pro Line 21, Pro Line Fusion and Eclipse jet systems. Students train at their own pace and on their own schedule. The site says the course is designed to boost safety, proficiency and aircraft familiarization.

Brokerage is the other main service. The site says Rich helps clients buy, sell and find aircraft. Clients who want brokerage advice can sign up for a consultation package. They can also hire the team to find or sell the aircraft they are asking about.

The shop sells Citation and Eclipse jet products and aircraft accessories. The site says Rich designs and makes some of the accessories himself. The blog and articles cover aviation topics, and there is a page of scholarship information for students who need funding for training.

The contact page has a form for aircraft brokerage and acquisition, flight training, recurrent training, online course questions and general questions. The site also links to YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
