cfi

I am currently studying for the FOI written using study software and my plan was to get the writtens out of the way and then continue with a local CFI program. However as you all know most programs are accelerated and designed for fast-tracking a CFI certificate. I have no problem with any of...

Hello, Please let me know if you are a CFI or you know a CFI who is interest in joining flight school in south east side of Atlanta. Thanks.

Just wanted to see if you had a similar experience finding a CFI. In October I finally decided to take up flight lessons towards my PPL. I live in a mid sized town of about 100,000 people in Texas. I figured it shouldn't be too hard to find a CFI. Boy was I wrong. Like most would, I tried...

I just released my second book, "CFI! The Book," a comical take on what its like to be a flight instructor. If you like aviation and you like to laugh, pick up a copy on Amazon. An underpaid, overworked Certified Flight Instructor cheats death while attempting to teach a cast of incompetent...

I am located in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, I own a Mooney M20E I need a cfi to get me trained for my ppl. Currently using King school online and jeppesen books for ground school studying. Have some flight time, 10hrs. My offer is, I will supply room and board, and a vehicle and your hourly...

Hey all! I'm currently working on my CFI. My instructor has been great in prepping me with my lesson plans and covering the "what if" questions the examiner could ask. I don't want to leave no stone unturned and wanted to ask you guys how you prepped and made/organized your lesson plans. If...

Edit 2/13/18 - It took 25 hours for me to solo and now that I'm at this point I realized the hours don't mean anything. I didn't understand this starting out. Now that I am at this point it makes a lot more sense. Also I pay $150/Hobbs Hour for a 172, and $50/CFI Hour Roughly I have spent...

Hello everyone! I am trying to decide whether I should stop at my associates of science or finish that and continue onto a bachelors of science degree. About me: CFI (working on CFII) Wanna be entrepreneur 19 years old Attending community college for associates of science degree I have 3...

Last week I had my CFI initial checkride. After a 9 hour oral, and teaching about 20 different lesson, we went and flew for 2 hours. After a long vigorous and exhausting day, I got to shake the inspector’s hand. I am now a brand new CFI, and I am so excited about it!!! I took my checkride in a...

So I hit 500 hours today and a friend who's a captain in a Lear 35 said I most likely have a SIC job if I wanted it. Curious what you all think the pros and cons are... I enjoy instructing and ultimately my goal is to go to the airlines, but I would like to do some corporate flying at some...

(Disclaimer - I'm a NEWB, any advice is welcome) My Journey starts here, with all of you. I am currently grounded, but soon, I will spread my wings, and soar into the world of aviation. I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED!!! I am located in southeastern North Carolina, and in the fall [or sooner], I...

Hey guys, so as usual, I'm looking for some advice from you all. I've started instructing at a school that trains mostly foreign (Asian) students who will be flying jets within the next year or two. I would like to teach these students habits and knowledge that can be easily transferred over...

Hello, I’m finishing up my commercial rating and I’m 40 away from the 250 needed. I’ve been curious and tried find out today but couldn’t. Can I start a CFI training course while finishing up my commercial license? Or would I need to finish up my commercial then take CFI training? I’m just...

So my MEI ride is coming up within the next week or two and I'm already asking myself how I can be a better flight instructor. Lately, I've been reading through a lot of advisory circulars and SAIBs but I'm not sure what else I should be doing. Outside of actually spending time in the plane...

So I just got my commercial multi certificate (comm single is coming by the end of this week) and I'm curious if y'all have any ideas of who/where to fly--countries, companies, etc.? I'm planning on finishing up my CFI, CFII, and MEI, but I would prefer to do some 135 type flying as opposed to...

Good Morning. I have a Private Pilot certificate but it has been many years since I have flown. With a recent visit to Oshcosh 2017 I am feeling the urge to get some flying time in again. Looking for a flight instructor near Cameron Missouri 64465. There is a nice airport there but when I went...

Hi, I am new to flying and as exciting as it is, I'm a little overwhelmed and still trying to navigate this whole new world. I am currently in ground school and have only 4 hours of flight time. I am aware that this may be too early to change CFI's, however I don't feel as if I have...

So it's official... I'm giving up my corporate finance job to attend ATP flight school and get my multi/instrument ratings and CPL. In about 4 months I'll have some big decisions to make regarding whether I want to be an instructor, look for a 135 job, try to get on with an asian airline, or...
