About the Instructor
Larry Reed, CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI, BS in Professional Aeronautics, Embry Riddle.
Larry is the ground school instructor. He began teaching the Private Pilot ground school for EAA Chapter 62, over twelve years ago and also taught it at the Los Gatos/Saratoga Recreation Department. He has been teaching ground school ever since and really enjoys it. I teach a real ground school and not one of these short 6 or 8 week classes that teach only the test.
Larry had his first airplane ride at six and has loved airplanes and flying since. He built and flew models, was a Civil Air Patrol Cadet, flew in the US Navy as a radar sensor operator in the EC121K Super Constellation and as an airborne sonar operator in the P3A Orion as a combat air crew over Viet Nam, began flying lessons in 1964 at the Navy Memphis Flying Club, soloed in 1966 at RHV and became a CFI in 1977 also at RHV. He also admits to having his tail-dragger skills improved by Len von Clemm who also taught him aerobatics in 1978. He taught in tail-draggers and tri-cycle geared airplanes at Aero Trends and Amelia Reid Aviation and other flight schools and clubs at RHV and in the Reno Carson City area of Nevada since 1977.
