Certified Flight Instructor
The FAA has no minimum requirement for applying for your flight instructor certificate beyond that required for your commercial license, but the CFI rating is designed to take you from your commercial license to becoming a certified flight instructor. Besides being an extremely rewarding experience, flight instructing allows you to build your hours and get paid for it!
​
Applicants interested in pursuing a flight instructor rating will meet with one of our senior flight instructors to tailor a program to your experience and goals. Our CFIs have a wealth of knowledge and experience from careers in corporate, military, and airline aviation, they take great pride in helping to mentor and guide the newest generation of flight instructors to the highest standards in safety and excellence.
