CAPTAIN JANThe Flying Dutchman

About · Jan Aleman, CFI

Efficiency is
a safety feature.

Jan started his first software company at 14, writing invoicing software for a neighbor's construction business instead of pouring concrete for swimming pools. Thirty-plus years and four software companies later, he has trained over a thousand software engineers, and now brings that experience to the cockpit.

Why train with Jan

As a former business owner Jan is used to efficiency, and it shows in his students' results: on average they spend less time and less money, and, more importantly, they have higher pass rates. He joined Fly Accelerated's team because he's a big supporter of dedicated, accelerated training, and he only takes students who are serious about getting their certificates and ratings.

Training goes far beyond the ACS. The focus is elite-level safety: complex, real-world scenarios at real airports that build genuine confidence, not just a checkride pass.

Services

  • Brushing up rusty flying skills
  • AQP training and practice
  • Help with ground school
  • Flight reviews

Off the clock, Jan enjoys flying small planes, traveling in the RV, and photography.
