Quality flight instruction serving Addison and the Dallas-Ft.Worth Area!



My name is Andy Poulton and I'm an independent flight instructor operating out of Addison Airport (KADS), in Addison, Texas.


Finding the right place to take flying lessons is an important first step in getting your private pilots license. There are many flight schools out there that will appear to be very attractive for a number of different reasons.

However, you can go to a flight school with a good reputation but get stuck with a poor or apathetic instructor, who is more concerned with his or her next step, rather than yours. You might also have to endure irresponsible management that sees you as nothing more than a cash cow. These are just a few of the dangers that can ruin your experience, and also cost you more money that what you needed to spend on flying lessons

However, there is an alternative that might suprise you. Remember, going to a flight school is a gamble. You might get a great flight instructor...or you might not.  You might get good training that will save your life one day...or you might not. You might luck out and pick a flight school with good equipment...or you might not.

You have an opportunity, right now, to take control of your training. There is an alternative to searching bindly in the dark for the best place to take flying lessons. You can pick your flight instructor first and let him take care of all the details that you might not be familiar with.

If you pick your instructor first, you can avoid many training pitfalls that plague students. After all, I'm only going to deal with responsible, fair management and safe aircraft. I fly airplanes out of Addison everyday and I'm not about to take chances with my life or yours flying shoddy equipment, or deal with people that don't take my students seriously!

Additionally, I don't have to answer to anybody except you. My customer service is not aimed at making the school a profit, it's aimed at making you the best, safest pilot in the DFW area. As a professional flight instructor my main goal is your success and your safety!

My services as a flight instructor don't just end when your training is over. I am also a fully licensed and appointed aviation insurance broker. If you ever decide to purchase an aircraft, start an aviation business, or need renters coverage, I can provide you with coverage that fits what you need, and what you can afford. 

My competitive advantage:

  • I only fly safe, well maintained equipment. I won't tolerate anything less!
  • Fly out of a central location- Addison Airport
  • I only deal with professional and responsible management
  • Foreign Students! I am a TSA approved training provider.
  • I have a 90% first time pass rate with the FAA


If you're looking for a flight instructor that is going to make your flying lessons a priority then I'm the right flight instructor for you!

Take some time to explore my site and see what I can offer, then give me a call! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

"As we continued my training into the instrument course Andy's level of expertise really showed.  Whether learning the various approaches or flying in actual IFR conditions, Andy teaches with confidence and a wealth of knowledge that is unparalleled.  For new pilots or existing pilots looking to get their instrument rating, Andy is the only choice."
-Laird Rixford
Private Pilot And Instrument Student

"Andy is determined to only turn out smart, skilled, and wise pilots into the aviation world, teaching not just to the practical test standards, but beyond."

-Alex Bourduardez

"I took two lessons from him and learned SO MUCH! I really like the way he teaches by feel and not so much by the numbers. I had really been struggling with short field landings, but not anymore.  Andy is an AWESOME instructor with a true passion for flying."

Zeb Patten, PGA Pro Golfer
Today I became a Private Pilot, a life’s dream, and I know I earned it . But without Andy who knows how long it would have taken. Instrument training is up next and Andy will be my instructor.
