Flying has been a lifelong passion for Brian, becoming a profession after completing his flight training in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, he has built his career around developing safe, knowledgeable, and confident aviators through structured, practical flight instruction.
Brian began instructing Part 61 students with Phoenix Area Flying Club before being selected as one of three founding instructors at Infinity Flight Group in Fort Pierce, Florida, where he helped launch the American Airlines Cadet Academy’s Part 141 training program. He later developed and led Infinity’s CFI Academy, mentoring future instructors and maintaining a 100% first-time pass rate across 16 applicants.
His background extends beyond the cockpit into sales, financial services, and technology, giving him a unique approach to aviation built around professionalism, communication, sound decision-making, and real-world experience.

Working with Brian DiDea completely changed my aviation journey. From my pre-solo training through earning my CFI, Brian was there every step of the way. Before training with him, I was ready to give up on aviation, but his unwavering belief in his students, honest feedback, and constant encouragement gave me the confidence to keep moving forward. He challenges you to be your best, celebrates your successes, and helps you grow through every obstacle. Brian strikes the perfect balance between maintaining a professional, safety-focused learning environment and making every lesson engaging and enjoyable. Aviation demands discipline and attention to detail, and Brian ensures those standards are met while creating an atmosphere where students can truly thrive. I can confidently say that anyone who has the opportunity to train with Brian is incredibly fortunate.
I had the opportunity to work with Brian during my CFI ground training, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is an incredibly responsible, knowledgeable, and safety-focused instructor who genuinely cares about the success of each and every one of his students. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to explain even the most complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He takes the time to personalize his instruction to each student’s learning style & making sure you fully understand the material and feels confident before moving on. Beyond being an excellent instructor, he’s approachable, patient, and understanding, which is what I believe makes him stand out. He creates a positive learning environment where questions are always encouraged, and you never feel rushed or judged. I’m grateful for everything I learned from him and would highly recommend him to anyone pursuing their CFI training.
Brian was my ground instructor throughout my CFI training. He is, without a doubt, an amazing teacher who gave me the best experience I possibly could have during my CFI training. Ground school is usually something to dread, boring, and a must-do action to “check off the box”. But Brian always finds a way to make the boring parts of training as fun as they possibly can be. On an instructional note, he is extremely thorough and always made sure that I was well prepared for any check I was going for. But perhaps most important of all is his ability to care. I never once doubted whether or not my aviation journey or progress as a student was important to him. Whether it was welcoming questions, giving effective feedback tailored to each student in my class, or even going the extra mile to help people struggling with certain concepts, he was always willing to help. There is no one I’d have rather done my training with, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for superior instruction!
