Dave Klopfleisch CFII

For more than 40 years as a flight instructor and 30 years at Chicago Executive Flight School, Dave Klopfleisch has helped hundreds of students learn the art of flying. Dave earned his pilot license while in high school. 

Dave served in the Navy and flew in the TA-4 single-engine attack jet. After the Navy, he was an auto mechanic and race car driver. Luckily for us, he found his way back to aviation! 

For his dedication and experience in aviation, Dave was awarded the “Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award” in 2022 to mark 50 years of safe flying. “The most rewarding part of my career has been using my experience to teach future pilots how to not only fly a plane but how to fly safely,” he said.

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

The purpose of the CEPA Safety Education Program is to promote flying, proficiency, and safety and create a community of pilots willing to share their perspectives, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. Please participate in this excellent forum where we think through the various options from the comfort of your chair, firmly on the ground... before it is you sitting in the cockpit!

We meet monthly when pilots (and would-be pilots) network and share knowledge and experiences to keep our heads in the game.
