This course is designed to take commercial pilots through the professional flight instructor course with a job placement opportunity with our school. The ground training consists of classroom lectures, briefings and home study.
During this part of the course the student instructors will refresh and bring up to date their technical knowledge and be taught the principles of basic instruction and how to apply them at both the PPL and advanced CPL levels.
The student will practice the planning of ground lessons and present briefings and will learn to fly and tech from the right seat of the aircraft. Upon successful completion all eligible candidates will have the opportunity to interview for employment with our flight department as a flight instructor.
The Instrument Instructor as the name implies will allow you to teach instrument students. The CFI-I course is a short course especially if you are already a CFI. You will learn how to teach basic instrument flying, that is how to control the airplane solely by reference to the instruments.
You will understand what instruments are primary and which are secondary for the task you are doing. For the student, it is very much like starting to learn to fly all over again. You will learn to teach straight and level, turns, climbs, and descents, and flight at various airspeeds, just like lesson one and two in the private pilot syllabus.
Once you master these tasks, you go on to teaching navigation, instrument approaches and landings from the approach. Your flying skills are judged as well as your teaching skills, so our course will ensure proficiency in both areas.
This course will provide you with 10 hrs for flight training with one of our experienced flight instructors.
