Final Approach Aviation

Final Approach is excited to introduce our newest CFI to the team, CJ!

CJ Morrison has called central Texas home his entire life — and for just as long, aviation has been the dream. After more than a decade founding and running a successful commercial and residential utilities company, he made the decision to finally chase it. He completed his primary flight training and went on to earn his CFI right here at Final Approach Aviation. A father of three, CJ knows a thing or two about patience and meeting people where they are. He builds his lessons around the individual, keeping things engaging and focused on one outcome: getting you where you want to go.

Welcome CJ, we are so happy to have you up there teaching future pilots!

Quentin and CFI Val doing the team work to make the DREAM work! Congrats Quentin on your PPL check ride pass!! ✅💯

Can you get your PPL at 17?! YES you can, just ask Caleb and his awesome instructor, Chris! Huge congrats, you earned it! Happy flying ✈️

New headshots, new introductions! We’d like to formally introduce CFI Walter Lee to the Final Approach team! Walter grew up in Northwest Arkansas with his eyes glued to the sky. Before he ever sat in a cockpit, he spent four years as an Electrician working across residential, commercial, and industrial jobs. But aviation kept calling, and eventually he answered. He packed up his family, moved across the country to Phoenix, Arizona, to attend flight school full time. After earning his CFI certificate, Walter and his growing family made the move to Austin to plant roots and start a new chapter. Now a new father, he brings that same hands-on, no-shortcuts mentality from his electrical days into every lesson. He’s not just here to get you through a checkride. He’s here to make sure you walk away with real skills, good habits, and the kind of mindset that keeps you safe long after you’ve left the training seat. Welcome Walter!👏🏼

Huge congratulations to Jacob for officially earning his Private Pilot License — and doing it in just 4 months! 💪🛩️

He absolutely crushed both the oral and flight portions of the checkride. All that hard work, focus, and commitment seriously paid off!

Big shoutout as well to CFI Chris Mueller, whose expert instruction and support helped guide Jacob to this huge milestone.
