san diego's finest flight instruction
ABOUT
FRANK CHOR
- CFI, CFII, AGI -
Hey fellow aviators and future patrons of the sky. My name is Frank - I'm a pilot and flight instructor.
I started Best Coast Aviation with a simple vision:
We can all relate to the feeling we experienced as a kid when we peered out of the window on our first flight. For me that incredible feeling never left, and since beginning my aviation journey right here in San Diego, my love of flying and joy for being in the sky has grown into a true passion.
My path to aviation has been an unconventional one. As a Chicago native, I grew up pretty old-school: work hard, study harder, get good grades, a good job and insert a little fun where you can. That mentality worked... until it didn't - so I asked myself "Am I having any fun? Am I pursing the life I've envisioned?" Those two simple questions led to a light bulb moment and an important third question, "What did you love as a kid?". Before I could even think of an answer, "Flying - make it happen" rang in my head. That third question is about as pure a question anyone can ask themselves, so I challenge you to ask yourself the same. The answer just might surprise you. Hell, it might even lead you to buzzing around the skies of southern California with me wondering what took you so long to get here.
With previous careers in finance and consulting I’ve come to realize you need to have a genuine passion for what you do or don’t bother. Through Best Coast Aviation, mentoring other aviators in their growth to becoming pilots makes that easy. Spending most of my life as an athlete, and one whose ambition far exceeded his talent, I've always found myself in a bit of a player-coach role. So, after earning my pilot's license and numerous other ratings, the progression toward instructing has been a natural one.
Whether you are planning for a career in aviation, focused on building upon your already strong pilot skill set, or simply looking to earn your Private Pilot's License and see where it takes you like I did years ago, I look forward to supporting you every step of the way on your aviation adventure.

TESTIMONIALS
“Frank is an incredible instructor. I met with several different CFI's before choosing Frank and it paid off. In today's flight training world it's hard to find a CFI who combines the instruction capability with an actual joy of instructing as well. Frank has both and it shows in his preparation, demeanor, and ability to adapt to different learning styles. Frank helped prepare me as well as anyone could ask, and I'm looking forward to working with him on multiple ratings in the future!"
