The Right Flight Services was founded by Grant Lam, a former naval aviator with over thirty years of flying experience. As a helicopter pilot, he flew Cobras and Hueys for the United States Marine Corps. After his friends heard that he was a Certified Flight Instructor, they wanted him to teach them how to fly. It was because of this and his desire to pass on his knowledge and passion for flying to his son, Joshua, that he started the flight school.
The name for the school came to him when Joshua asked him why some people just have a hard time learning how to fly. Grant told him that it was because they were never taught how to fly correctly in the first place. It was then, that Joshua told him, "Dad, you can teach them how to fly right." So that was how The Right Flight Services got its name.
Grant's goal was to make learning how to fly airplanes fun and simple for anyone who wants to learn. So, using his flying experience, training as a naval aviator, and knowledge of Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, he developed an easy formula for flying. He called it his PATI principle, the four basic techniques to flying airplanes. The overwhelming response from all of his students over the years was always, "I can't believe it's so easy and it actually works!" Grant wholeheartedly attributes this to his PATI techniques and is eager to teach it to anyone who is interested in flying. He believes his PATI principle will revolutionize the approach to learning how to fly airplanes because it takes out all the guesswork. So, at The Right Flight Services, we introduce to pilots the PATI way to flying airplanes, because PATI is simply the easiest and most effective way to fly.
The proof of our PATI principle has been the high pass rate of our students in obtaining their private pilot certificates. Our students get their private pilot rating between 40 and 45 hours in comparison to the national average, which is 70 hours. Furthermore, learning how to fly the PATI way helps our students fly safely.
