Austin Greathouse - CFI, cfi-i

My name is Austin and I have a spirit for adventure! When I'm not flying, you can usually find me rock climbing, running, or working around the house! Growing up, I was a military-brat, moving across the country and Germany - embracing diverse cultures and experiences. Initially, I found a love for the Film and TV industry and spent most of my 20s working in NY and LA. After Covid disrupted my previous way of life, my wife and I found a new beginning here in Greenville, SC. I believe this helps me bring a unique perspective to the world of general aviation.

From a young age, I always wanted my Helicopter license but that always felt like a dream I wouldn’t chase. I never really knew I wanted to fly airplanes but that all changed during a scenic discovery flight over Greenville. This experience ignited a fire within me, leading me to complete my training here at Greenville Aviation, where I’ve earned everything from my Private Pilot Certificate through becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).

Ever since that first flight, I’ve had a deep commitment to aviation and I’m eager to inspire and mentor the next generation of pilots. My goal is dedicated to providing safe, high-quality flight instruction that not only builds skills but also fosters a love for the skies. Maybe one day, I’ll add on that helicopter certificate too
