Training
  • Flight Instructor is often the first flying position a commercial pilot will earn. A Certified Flight Instructor Rating (CFI) is required for a pilot to give instruction to student pilots. Our CFI program is designed to provide you with the skills you will need as required by FAR 61. The primary focus of our CFI program is to train you to be an effective educator, evaluator and motivator. This is a great way for pilots to build time while enjoying a rewarding career.

  • The Certified Flight Instructor course will qualify you to instruct private and commercial students. You will learn to fly the aircraft from the right seat, perform the maneuvers that you will be teaching within the tolerances required by the FAA Practical Test Standards while explaining them, and critique student performance. You will become adept at all the aspects of giving effective instruction and adapting the syllabus to the individual student.
