WOR Approved Instructors/Observers

Wings of Rogallo is not a school and we do not provide flight training.

All instructors and observers below have been authorized by WOR to teach/observe at Ed Levin.  Ed Levin is the only flying site that allows training, and the site procedures provide more information about instructors and observers ability to sponsor and sign-off pilots to fly at various launches.

Please note that many instructors below operate commercial schools and use separate insurance policies.  Our site procedures apply as the foundation for all pilots at Ed Levin as the park permit to fly is based on the WOR site procedures.
