Meet CFII Brian Dubois
Brian’s fascination with flight began as an eight year old boy when he first stepped foot on a Boeing 737 to Florida for a family vacation. He was glued to the window for the duration of the flight and the wonder of all things aviation never ceased. Brian grew up in Rhode Island and still calls it home. He went to college at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida where he obtained his licenses and began his flight instruction career. After graduation, Brian moved back to New England where he continued flight instructing at Daniel Webster College.
In the constantly evolving world of aviation, Brian shifted gears and for the last 20 years has been working as an air traffic controller. As Brian’s ATC career comes to a close, he has finally made it back to the flight deck to begin his second career as a professional pilot doing what he loves. He has been instructing in Rhode Island for the last two years and serving as a stage check instructor before joining our team at Mike Goulian Aviation. In his off time Brian enjoys traveling with his family, skiing, hiking and training for Ironman triathlons.
| 04 / Pro Tip: Engine Care in Cold Weather |
Starting a cold engine should be done with care anytime of the year. It is especially important in cold weather. It can also be tricky if you don’t prime the engine just right.
