The CFI Course at Fly Around Arkansas is a thorough and extensive program requiring hard work and dedication from the student and their instructor. The course encompasses 40+ hours of ground school plus flight training in our aircraft. The CFI Course is about being able to teach aviation, both on the ground and in flight. Teaching is something that requires a lot of practice to perfect your skills to provide a positive experience for your students.
This course is not about your piloting; it is about mastering the art of teaching aviation. This is the reason why the CFI course is always ground-heavy. The 40 + hours of ground school include all the subject areas covered in the Fundamentals of Instruction and the Flight Instructor Aeronautical Knowledge. You will spend more time doing self-study on your own than with your instructor.
As part of our program, you will be involved with other students in ground and flight training while your instructor is supervising. By the time you are ready for your FAA check ride, you will have gained all the knowledge and confidence necessary to qualify as a Certified Flight Instructor and teach others how to fly.
The flight portion of the course includes all the Private, Commercial, and CFI maneuvers, with you teaching from the right seat. The course also includes the required spin awareness, entry, and recovery techniques. At the completion of the course, you will have all the skills and confidence necessary to teach another pilot while sitting in the right seat of an airplane.
