CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
The Certified Flight Instructor Certificate requires a minimum of a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating. Much of the initial CFl training is ground training with an experienced CFI. This estimate assumes that the applicant moves directly from the CFI training to the CFll training.
Training for all of our certificates is done on an individual basis. Training is one-on-one and the initial CFI training requires that your instructor have at least 2 years of experience and at least 200 hours of dual given. In all cases we cater our training to your schedule.
