Student Testimonials
Adin Herzog
"I began taking lessons at the age of 12 (I'm now 16). Jamie Dockin's love of aviation was obvious from our first flight, as was her insight into the needs of the individual student. Jamie is a deeply serious instructor, but she also makes every flight fun. She knows how to slowly ease you in to more time at the controls of the aircraft, while not forcing anything on you that you're not ready for. Jamie is very knowledgeable about the aircraft she flies and about handling them under different flying conditions. She maintains her cool under all circumstances, giving her students an important sense of safety. I strongly recommend Jamie Dockins as a flight instructor; you will be glad you chose her. " - Adin

I am working on my Private Pilot Certificate and I consider myself lucky to have been introduced to Jamie. When I went to take an introductory flight around San Diego, I didn't think I would be taking lessons as soon as I did. Once we lifted off I was hooked and started scheduling lessons with her. Jamie makes learning to fly very enjoyable. Her approach to teaching is relaxed, yet very detailed. When you are feeling overwhelmed with what she is teaching you, she is more than happy to take a step back and adjust her teachings to the level at which you receive them. She will never force anything on you, however makes sure that you are moving forward with your learning. With only a little more time to get my Private Pilot Certificate, I will be going directly into Instrument Rating training with Jamie. The opportunity to learn to fly is a honor and a privilege. And what better place to do it then in San Diego. So should you decide to start taking lessons, I would highly recommend Jamie as your first choice.

I highly recommend Jamie as a flight instructor. She got me from my private to passing my instrument written and checkride without any trouble. Many people told me that getting your instrument rating was much more difficult than getting your private pilots license. But Jamie's instructing not only made earning my instrument rating easier than my private (and much easier than I expected!) but it was also a ton of fun. I plan on getting my commercial and CFI with her. -Brad

I have recommended Jamie Dockins to everyone I know. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have had Jamie for my flight instructor. I started taking flying lessons about two years ago. I specifically wanted a female instructor. Jamie and I flew everywhere for lunch....first Hemet, then Palm Springs and even Catalina Island. She made every flight fun and exciting as well as very informative. When I passed my check ride, the examiner wanted to know who my instructor was because she must have been so thorough!!!! Even though I have my pilot's license, I still fly with Jamie to keep up my skills and learn new things. I hope you will give her a try.
