Flight Instructor Course Options

We offer training programs for flight instructors. Shown below are our standard offerings. Please contact us for custom solutions that are not listed here.

The Flight Instructor Certificate is the FAA certification needed to be employed as a flight instructor. A position for students who desire to accumulate experience to qualify for the FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificate (ATP). The Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) must demonstrate excellent flying skills, thorough knowledge of the academic subjects, and be able to communicate effectively.

The Flight Instructor Instrument rating is also important to students interested in preparing for employment as a flight instructor. The CFII instrument rating, when added to the Certified Flight Instructor certificate, allows the student to teach instrument procedures, and accumulate valuable instrument flight experience.

The Multi engine Instructor Rating (MEI) allows flight instructors to provide instruction in multi engine aircraft. This is an important rating for those who desire to accumulate additional multiengine experience.
