Certified Flight Instructor

Teach the Joy of Flight.

The best way to master a subject is to teach it. Becoming an instructor significantly expands flight knowledge and proficiency; rapidly exceeding the expectations of what is possible as a pilot. Being a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) provides the opportunity to build valuable flight time, gain experience, refine proficiency, and increase safety awareness, all while being paid to fly.

By teaching others, CFIs are constantly being challenged to learn, enhancing their capabilities to comprehend and communicate. CFIs have the opportunity to exponentially grow their experience by constantly improving and refining their piloting and communication skills. A CFI will personally impact the safety and proficiency of the pilots they train, but there is also the critically important role CFIs play in impacting the future of aviation. Teaching someone to learn to fly is often the greatest reward of all.
