FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
A Flight Instructor Certificate or CFI, allows you to teach others how to fly and become safe pilots. As a CFI, you are expected to carry a high degree of knowledge to pass on to your students. It’s also a great opportunity to fine tune your own skills as you learn to teach. Being an instructor is often the first flying job a new commercial pilot will have.
While earning your CFI and CFII ratings, you will learn how to instruct new students in all the required areas of aviation and prepare them for a successful flying career. Having your Flight Instructor Certificate will give you an increased edge when seeking your first job and will help solidify the skills and advanced understanding that you yourself learned during your training as a new pilot.
