Path to Success in CFI Flight Training — AviatorCast 128

November 03, 2019

Are you wanting to enter the world of teaching and become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)? This license will be different than any other training you’ve done, from the training and experience itself, all the way through the checkride.
The big thing about becoming a CFI is two fold… caring for your students and simply teaching really well. With those two pillars, it really is that ‘easy’.
In this podcast we will discuss:

* The TWO tests you now need to take for the Written Test (and why you don’t need endorsements)
* Flight Training experience, which is really TEACHING experience
* Why the checkride will be one big ‘role play’
* How being a mentor is central to your role
* And much more!

We need more teachers in aviation, and I really encourage pilots to try it out and see if it’s something they like, but only if you’re doing to do GREAT by your students and really help them in all ways.
