FAQ
Questions? Good, pilots ask questions.
You’ll need a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating to earn your CFI. But you can start building the knowledge side anytime — the fundamentals of instruction and the technical subjects take time to truly master, and starting early means arriving at your CFI training ready to teach.
The CFI (flight instructor) certificate lets you teach private and commercial students. The CFII (instrument instructor) rating adds the ability to teach instrument students and give instrument proficiency checks. We cover the knowledge side of both — including the FOI, FIA, and FII written exams.
Yes — adding your CFII, refreshing your fundamentals of instruction, or sharpening how you teach tough subjects like aerodynamics and weather. Our live workshops and case studies are built for instructors who want to keep growing.
Yes — and it’s free. Complete the course and you’ll receive the instructor endorsement the FAA requires before you can take the flight instructor knowledge tests. No hunting for someone to sign you off.
