Kyle Black

My name is Kyle Black and I began my aviation career at the age of 16 learning to fly at Wisconsin Aviation in Madison, WI while in high school. While learning to fly I worked as a customer service representative at Wisconsin Aviation to gain knowledge and experience in corporate aviation. After obtaining my private pilot's license and graduating high school, I attended school at the University of North Dakota to further my aviation education. While attending school at UND I worked in various positions at GFK Flight Support, the local FBO in Grand Forks, ND. I performed the duties of customer service representative, line technician, Ground Security Coordinator for Allegiant Air, and Certified Flight Instructor. I graduated with honors in two bachelors degrees: B.S. in Aeronautics with a major in Commercial Aviation and a B.B.A. in Management with a major in Aviation Management. I was hired as a flight instructor by the University of North Dakota and instructed students from all over the world. While instructing at UND I continued to work in multiple roles at GFK Flight Support. I began providing aircraft management services for local corporations through GFK Flight Support in a Piper Seneca, Piper Navajo, Cessna 414, and Pilatus PC12. My career as a charter pilot began shortly after. I obtained a single-pilot type rating in a Beechcraft Premier Jet at FlightSafety International in Wichita, KS. After two years of flying for a Part 135 charter operator in both the Premier Jet and Pilatus PC12 I was granted an approval from the FAA to serve as Chief Pilot of our charter certificate. Currently, I perform the duties of Pilot-In-Command while providing safe, efficient charter operations in a Beechcraft Premier and Pilatus PC12. My responsibilities also include providing ground and flight training for pilots in preparation for required charter check rides, manage our flight training department, and oversee operations of our Certified Flight Instructors and rental aircraft fleet.
