At Hewison Aviation, we believe that exceptional flight training is the cornerstone of safe, confident, and professional aviators. In an era where the aviation industry experiences high standards and selective pilot recruitment, the quality of mentorship a student pilot receives makes all the difference. That is why we are absolutely thrilled to announce that Alex Evans has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Flight Instructor of the Year award!
This accolade is presented annually to the instructor who demonstrates unparalleled dedication to aviation skill, safety, and training excellence. Alex has not only met these standards—he has set a new benchmark for what it means to be an elite educator in the cockpit.
Leading the Fleet in Student Success
Measuring the impact of a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) comes down to the confidence, safety, and competency of their students. In 2025, Alex led our entire team in two critical milestones:
* Most Student Solos: Guiding more student pilots through that unforgettable first solo flight than any other instructor. Sending a student solo is an immense responsibility, and Alex’s meticulous preparation ensured every single one of his students felt ready and secure when taking the controls alone for the first time.
* Most Check Ride Successes: Helping the highest number of candidates successfully pass their practical exams. Whether they were completing their Private Pilot Ground School requirements, mastering precision in the Instrument Rating Course, or advancing to their check ride for Commercial Pilot Prep, Alex prepared his students to perform with flawless professionalism under the scrutiny of FAA examiners.
Embodying Safety, Service, and “The Hewison Way”
Beyond the impressive statistics, what truly sets Alex apart is his unwavering commitment to the “Hewison Way.” At Hewison Aviation, our philosophy is simple: always put the customer first and work toward outstanding customer service with each and every interaction.
Instruction is more than just teaching flight maneuvers; it’s about building a supportive, personal, and highly encouraging environment. Whether a student is booking a simple Discovery Flight to experience the joy of flight for the first time, or looking to become a professional instructor themselves via our Flight Instructor CFI Course, Alex treats every person who walks through our doors with the utmost dignity, professionalism, and care. He represents the very best of About Our Flight School.
