About
Welcome to KSAV, one of the most dynamic and exciting airports on the eastern seaboard! My name is Tizi and I'm a Master Flight Instructor in the Greater Savannah Area. I fly almost exclusively with Savannah Aviation (part 61/141), but you can also find me flying around the local patterns as well with my company, Galileo Aerospace (part 61 only). I strive to provide a more in-depth and technical education. A graduate of Florida Tech, my background is in engineering, with degrees in aerospace engineering (B.S.), flight test engineering (M.S.), and cognitive engineering (Ph.D.). My flight test and doctoral education is focused on flight operations, avionics systems design & evaluation, and cognitive engineering. As a CFI, my main area of expertise is primary, advanced instrument, and avionics/flight deck training, but I also has experience in formation flying and aerobatics. As an experimental flight test engineer, I am specialized in aircraft systems, human factors, and avionics. I was trained in avionics design, integration, evaluation, and validation at the Human-Centered Design Institute (HCDi) at Florida Tech and during my tenure as a human factors engineer at GARMIN and experimental flight test engineer at KSAV. I am proudly passionate about education. Although my primary work is in industry, I continue to serve academia as an Adjunct Professor of Human Factors and Cognitive Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), and a guest lecturer in both Italy and the United States. In 2025, I was honored by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) as the Best National Flight Instructor of the United States. Follow me on instagram @FlyWithTizi!
