ASHLEY MEYER

Commercial Pilot | Certified Flight Instructor | Lewiston, ID

Aviation is more than a profession for me—it's a lifelong passion that has shaped the way I see the world. I'm a Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor based in Lewiston, Idaho, driven by a mission to help others experience the freedom, confidence and fulfillment that flying brings.

After earning my college degree, I committed fully to flight training—completing every stage right here at the Lewiston airport. Since then, I’ve logged extensive hours in a wide variety of airspaces and flying conditions, with experience in over 15 different aircraft types. I hold endorsements for high-performance and complex airplanes and am certified in Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).

While becoming a CFI was originally a step toward building flight time, I quickly discovered my true passion for instructing. I genuinely enjoy mentoring students and being part of their journey as they grow into safe, skilled and confident pilots.

When I’m not in the sky, you’ll likely find me outdoors with friends and family, traveling or planning my next aviation adventure. I owe so much of where I am today to my parents, my flight instructor and mentor, and the many incredible pilots, friends and supporters who have guided and encouraged me along the way and I love giving back by doing that for others.


Flying is a lifelong journey of learning and adventure—and I can’t wait to be part of yours. I look forward to flying with you soon! — Ashley
