Flight Instructor Certification Course
Our Certified
Flight Instructor (CFI) Course is design to take your Commercial
Pilot Certificate to the income producing level. We first
will transition you into the right seat of the training airplane
and then start having you explain the maneuvers as you fly and
demonstrate them. The flying is the easy part of the CFI,
and the challenge is learning to behave as an instructor rather
than a pilot. To do this you must be able to present the
subject with authority and be able to back up every statement
you make with regulation or other official documented source.
You will learn to make and
present lessons based on a lesson plan that you have prepared
and be able to answer questions from the FAA Inspector about the
plan. For example, you are teaching a lesson on the
standard traffic pattern, and the inspector asks "Where and how
long in the final approach?" Your task is to know the
answer and prove it with regulations.
There are two knowledge exams
as well, one relates to the "Fundamentals of Instruction" and
the other on the regulations, airplane performance, weather,
etc. This one is very similar to the Commercial Knowledge
exam you have recently passed.
The flight portion is
straight forward, and you will be asked to demonstrate several
of the lessons that you have already briefed the Inspector.
Now all you need to do is
find a flight school that is willing to hire you and you are
employed. By the way, when you graduate from our CFI
program we will hire you. Your pay will start at $20.00
per flight hour, and we will help you to find students and get
you further toward your eventual goal, whether it be airlines,
or as a full time CFI.
Welcome aboard!
