Mikayla Morse,
CFI

Precise, confident flight training, from first solo to CFI.

Hi there!  I’m Mikayla, a Certified Flight Instructor based out of Goodyear, AZ. I’m currently working on my CFII, building hours towards ATP mins, and finishing up an online degree in Aviation Management at Purdue. I teach private and commercial students in the C172s.

Outside of aviation, I’m very passionate about the US stock market and in my free time I love to go hiking, play golf/pickleball, yoga, etc. Interested in flying with me? Please submit a query below and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Blue skies,
MM
