Becoming a Flight Instructor is no easy journey. It requires mastery of knowledge and skill. But most importantly it requires persistence. By becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), you will equip yourself with the ability to help others grow their wings or help fellow pilots stay sharp. A CFI certificate is required to teach other pilot certificate applicants, conduct flight reviews, determine aircraft proficiency, or do insurance checkouts.
Training to become a CFI will take you on a journey through human behavior and learning theory. You will also revisit and reinforce your understanding of everything youve mastered as a certificated pilot. CFIs are required to have mastery of fundamental knowledge areas and to train rigorously to refine and master previously learned information.
