CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why learn to be a flight instructor?

Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor is often the preferred career path in aviation for those building time for an airline job or others that simply enjoy teaching the basics of flight. Flight instructing allows to work your own hours, work with a variety of students, and earn valuable experience for any future aspirations in the aviation field. It is also a great way to challenge your abilities and expand your judgment as a pilot.

What kind of airplanes will I be in training? Ground training?

Your training will be in an IFR certified Cessna 172R "Skyhawk" as well as the Cessna 182RG "Skylane", and you will fly primarily in the right seat. Ground training will be conducted with a Certified Flight Instructor, who is eligible to train first time CFI applicants.

What are the requirements?

The requirements set by the FAA to become a certified flight instructor are that you must be at least 18 years old and able to read, speak, and understand English. You also must hold at least a Commercial pilot certificate with a single-engine land rating as well as an instrument rating, and have a current FAA merdical certificate. There are no specific time requirements, except that you must have logged at least 15 hours in the aircraft make & model that you will take the practical test. You must also pass two written exams (Fundamentals of Instructing, and Flight Instructor Airplane) and the end-of-course practical test (oral and flight exam).

What training will I receive in the CFI course at Lumanair?

You will learn about the learning process of students, elements of effective teaching, student evaluation and testing, course development, lesson planning, classroom training techniques, maneuver analysis & demonstration, and more. You will gain practice teaching in our flight training room as well as in the aircraft, with an instructor with at least 2 years experience and 200 hours of dual instruction given.
