Brandon Miguez

Miguez was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Graduating from Louisiana State University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, Miguez’s original plan was to pursue a career in aviation law. He clerked for a law firm in Baton Rouge for a short period of time and decided he was putting off his true passion; the love for aviation was always lurking in the back of his mind. He quit his job at the law firm, moved to Tampa, and completed the rest of his flight training.

Miguez is currently the assistant chief flight instructor at FlightGest Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. He is a CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI, FAA Gold Seal Flight Instructor, and FAASTeam Representative for the Greensboro, North Carolina FSDO. Miguez is also pursuing his Master of Science degree in aviation safety at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. His passion is multiengine instruction, and he specifically works to transition commercial rotorcraft pilots from North Carolina’s National Guard who wish to fly for the airlines. Miguez says he is thrilled to be doing exactly what he always dreamed of doing, exactly where he is supposed to be doing it: in a professional environment full of supportive individuals and stellar pilots.
