Matthew S.

"I have learned a lot from your postings and I hope you do not change your level of participation on the forum. I have also learned a lot from your website. I wish I were in your area; I'd love to fly with you! Aviation, and light sport aviation in particular, needs more folks like you. Thanks!"
Dave L.
SportPilotTalk participant

"You sir...are a wealth of REALLY GOOD information!!! I wish I lived closer to PA!!!!"
Michigan pilot

"I want to tell you that you're an asset on this forum for us beginning pilots and all your posts are genuine and informative. I really appreciate your insights! Very happy you also saved me $80 on the Gleim materials which went right to a headset. Thanks!! This flying experience is probably the most satisfying thing I've ever done. It still hasn't sunk in that I can fly a plane and am going to become a pilot."
Todd
SportPilotTalk participant

"Paul is a catalyst. If he's in the room, you'll have a lively discussion. I miss his frequent visits to my office, as every day he had something supremely interesting to tell me. But I am still lucky to see him monthly at our regional pilots' meeting, where he gives FAA Safety presentations and makes us think twice about everything we do."
Geoff Knauth
Civil Air Patrol pilot

"I have always been impressed by Dr. Shuch's creative innovation and his engineering depth and knowledge."
Jack Unger
former student and colleague

"Paul Shuch is a dedicated professional who addresses any technical program in an exemplary, energetic and competent manner."
Dr. Gareth Knowles
former employer

"Paul is a genius with talents in multiple directions. I am constantly amazed by his breadth of abilities. I only hope when I grow up that I will be like him. He is a role model and friend. He does all this with modesty and humility. Simply amazing!"
Dr. Rachel Tortolini
colleague and fellow Mensan

"Professor Shuch is an excellent teacher, helping his students to understand the aerodynamics and reasons behind proper and safe flight operations."
Matt Hoppes
pre-solo student pilot

"You are much more detailed than the Evektor Sportstar checklist or my previous training has been... Your teaching background is a valuable asset."
Mel Bole
post-solo student pilot

"Dr. Shuch's dynamic teaching style was truly impressive, thanks largely to his interdisciplinary teaching approach. When introducing a new idea, Dr. Shuch would explain the subject in a variety of ways... Articulate and engaging, his command of the material was clearly first-rate."
Garrett Williams
former student

"The most striking aspect of Dr. Shuch's teaching is his ability to make esoteric, dull material seem fascinating. Dr. Shuch's unconventional teaching style was always a nice break from the mundane ... Dr. Shuch always treated me with respect and went to great pains to help me progress, both inside the classroom and out. It's obvious that Dr. Shuch has a didactic edge over his colleagues. Dr. Shuch appreciates erudition in all forms, and though many professors are highly specialized, Dr. Shuch is special. He's a brilliant teacher. His methods are unique; his knowledge is superb and I'd recommend him to any[one]."
Adam Hughes
former student

"I knew from the first class I had with Paul he was going to be demanding and informative. Paul taught with charisma and enthusiasm which made learning fun. Outside the classroom Paul would go the extra mile."
Wayne Patrick
former student

"I have met some of his past students. All speak most highly of him and are very appreciative of the support and education he has provided them."
Prof. Allen Katz
The College of New Jersey

"I have no hesitation in saying he is one of the very best educators I have ever seen."
Prof. Allen Tough
University of Toronto

"I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your service bulletin summary. At the time it was done I was a new first-time aircraft owner, so the thorough process was new to me. If now requested, I'm sure it will be indispensable at the FSDO for the replacement of my lost airworthiness certificate."
Richard
Maintenance customer

"Paul, I wish you were closer -- I'd study under you in a heartbeat. I have read many of your posts already and your responses are that of a teacher and a coach."
Tony
Forum participant

"Thanks for taking the time to do and record the webinar. I am a relatively low time pilot, and recently completed a 2,200 mile (round trip) cross country ... and encountered everything you reviewed in your course. Thanks again for your time and efforts."
Mark
Webinar attendee

"Paul, I cannot think of anyone who is a better advocate for general aviation and light sport flying. You are a valuable resource to this community. Thank you for everything you do towards that effort."
Bill

"Hello Professor Shuch -
I attended your EAA webinar last Wednesday and wanted to commend you on a very fine presentation. I have been a Private Pilot for about 7 years now and your presentation was not only an excellent review but I learned several tidbits of new knowledge. I really wanted to thank for the way you responded to the answers on your quizzes. You not only explained why the correct answer was the correct response but you also discussed why each incorrect answer was the wrong choice and this is where I learned the most information from this seminar - thank you!
Over the past few years, I have attended quite a number of your presentations and I would like to pass along my opinion that they keep getting better and better. You are an excellent resource ... and I thank you very much for taking your time and making your efforts in passing along your knowledge to your fellow flyers. I look forward to participating in more of your instructional webinars and learning from your fountain of knowledge."

Andre
Private Pilot

"Good morning Paul, just wanted to drop a note of thanks to you for a wonderful discussion of radar and transponders last night. You are the consummate storyteller and wove the history into a very informative timeline. Maybe I knew some of this information from education and experience but never had I seen it so clearly presented. Anyway, my thanks go to you for your commitment to EAA and flight safety."
Buddy
Webinar attendee

"Hello Professor Shuch,
I have attended many of your EAA presentations over the past few years and I felt it was high time that I sent you a personal note of thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge and experience on so many aviation topics. I’ve come to appreciate that a continuous learning mindset is absolutely critical to safe and optimal operations in all aspects of aviation. I am sure your advice has saved my life in some way shape or form in ways I will never know. Thank you again for all you do and I look forward to seeing you again on a future EAA webinar.

Sincerely
Mark

If you can drive, you can fly!
