Customers Speak

I want to thank you for the excellent flight instruction I have received over the years from you. I thought our last recurrent work was the best yet. I was astounded when, at the beginning, you asked me what I thought I needed. Then we addressed those areas.
     Thank you,
     Barry Morris,
     Aerostar Owner


	Instructor (CFI) Courses Initial Renewal Reinstatement Flight and Ground


	As a flight and or ground instructor, you will be responsible for teaching tomorrow's aviation citizens. Some pilots become instructors for the love of teaching. Others instruct to gain experience. One thing is for sure - as an instructor you will have an office with a view, above average pay and a great deal of fun! Ground Instructor: The Ground Instructor Certificate is completed in 2 consecutive weekends of classwork plus homework that is usually completed in the week between. The Basic Ground Instructor is authorized to recommend knowledge exams for sport pilot, recreational pilot and private pilot. The Advanced Ground Instructor is authorized to recommend all pilot knowledge exams. Sport Instructor: The Certified Sport Instructor is completed in 2 weeks of full-time training. The Sport Instructor is not required to possess either an instrument rating or a commercial pilot certificate. However, the Sport Instructor is restricted to teaching in Light Sport Aircraft. CFI: The Certified Flight Instructor is completed in 2 weeks of full-time training, or longer if training part time. Our excellent staff, with years of experience, prepare you for the challenges of teaching. CFII: The Certified Flight Instructor of Instruments is an add-on to the CFI certificate. It is accomplished in 2 weeks of full-time training. We help you to instruct a wider range of students. MEI: The most advanced flight instructors teach in multi-engine aircraft. The Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) may be added to a CFI or CFII. Twice the fun!

The purpose of the ground package is to prepare lesson plans, practice teaching and review aeronautical knowledge. Does not include the cost of FAA Knowledge Exams or training materials. A list of training materials (about $75, but you probably already own most of them) and additional information will be emailed to you upon enrollment.

Two flights per day are normally scheduled. A staff instructor will familiarize you with our training aircraft and general proficiency, then the Chief will fly with you for final prep, polish and pen for the practical exam.


     IMPORTANT: Enrollments with paid deposits must be completed at least two weeks in advance of class start. This allows you time to complete 20-hours of pre-course work to be accomplished at home. If we are to complete training in a short time, then we need you to do some review of prerequisite material before arrival.

     ALSO INCLUDED: With either ground or flight package, 12 months of flight instructor mentoring from seasoned pro's.
