Welcome to hawkins flight instruction
My name is Cody Hawkins and I am a full time independent certified flight instructor (CFI, CFI-I, MEI).
My goal is to provide a carefully tailored training experience to best help YOU learn and accomplish whatever goal you have in aviation. Whether you are just starting out or are coming back into the world of aviation and need a refresher.
I provide instruction out of Mesa Gateway in Cessna 172's, but if you are an aircraft owner I can assist you wherever you are in the valley.

You deserve flight training that is supportive, personalized, and focused on your goals. These programs are designed to help you grow at your own pace while developing the confidence and skills that truly matter in the air. With dedicated instruction and a clear training path, you’ll build the knowledge, mindset, and habits that set you up for long-term success as a safe, competent pilot.
Private Pilot License
Every pilot starts somewhere, and for me, learning to fly became one of the most meaningful adventures of my life. If you’re ready to begin your own journey in the air, I’d love to help. Click to learn more about my Private Pilot Program
Instrument Rating
An Instrument Rating elevates a pilot’s abilities by allowing safe flight in reduced visibility, layered weather, and controlled airspace environments. It’s a milestone that unlocks true confidence and efficiency. Click to learn more about my Instrument Rating Program.
Commercial Pilot License
