Flight Instructor CFICertified Flight Instructor Training

DITCH THE TRADITIONAL WHITEBOARD, TEACH STUDENTS TO FLY THROUGH THE SKY.

You’re in luck – Certified Flight Instructors are in high demand right now as instructors typically move on to careers that require 1000+ hours to apply. Instructors can build 600-800 hours a year if they are flying for a medium-sized flight school. Working as a CFI/CFII also further hones your piloting skills, raises your experience level and exposes you to additional commercial flight opportunities to add to your resume.  This training is used to teach prospective pilots, but is also the next step in a commercial pilot’s career in getting to larger operators and career flying. Regardless, it’s an amazing course that refines your skills, takes you back to the basics everyday and trains you to create the next generation of helicopter pilots.

Block time

Students can set up a block time account with $4000.00 cash or check. Students will receive a 5% discount off the hourly rate of flight and ground instruction. Therefore, if the training cost $16,000 then the student will save over $800.00.

Block time cannot be purchased with a credit card.

If a student requests a refund of their money on account, the 5% discount will be put back on each paid invoice and paid for out of the remainder of block time funds. After one year from the last invoice, the student can only fly off block time funds – a refund will not be given. Student can give credit on account to other students.
