Instrument
Flight Instructor Certification Course (CFI-I)
The Instrument
Instructor as the name implies will allow you to teach
instrument students. A little known fact about the CFI-I
is that you don't have to be a Certified Flight Instructor
first, so you may elect to start at the CFI-I level. Most
people start right at CFI and then add ratings to the basic, but
you don't have to. Enough trivial
The CFI-I course is pretty
short especially if you are already a CFI. You need to
learn how to teach basic instrument flying, that is how to
control the airplane solely by reference to the instruments.
You need to understand what instruments are primary and which
are secondary for the task you are doing. For the student,
it is very much like starting to learn to fly all over again.
You must learn to teach straight and level, turns, climbs, and
descents, and flight at various airspeeds, just like lesson one
and two in the private pilot syllabus. Once you master
these tasks, you go on to teaching navigation, instrument
approaches and landings from the approach.
Your flying skills are judged
as well as your teaching skills, so our course will ensure
proficiency in both areas.
Cost is variable depending on
hours, but will be in the $2,000.00 - $3,000.00 range.
