CFI Flight Instructor Course

Overview

If you want to be a flight instructor to get some more experience under your belt -- perhaps on your way to a US-ATPL -- you will generally not be able to get there from here without working as a flight instructor.

Usually, someone aspiring to be a US-ATP starts by earning a PPL, instrument training, CPL, multi-engine rating, and then getting his or her Initial CFI rating.

You have to put in a total of 1500 flight hours to become a US-ATP. Most flight instructors in the US log these hours while working as flight instructor, enabling them to work in a commercial cockpit for an airline or charter airline later on.

At the moment, prospects for foreign customers hoping to work for US airlines are not very promising.

As FAA CFI you will have additional options. Once you want to work as an FAA CFI outside or in the US or you would like to improve your personal skills, the US CFI will be a great experience for you.

If you meet the experience requirements, FAR Part 61.187 does not specify a
minimum mandatory number of hours

Important facts:

Earning your US CFI will enable you to further your education and is a good career move
Job opportunities for non-US citizens to work in the cockpit for a US airline are exceedingly
rare
If you'd like to work outside the US as a US CFI, to conduct BFR flight reviews, for example,
this program is an excellent choice

Who should pursue US CFI training:

People who want to work as professional flight instructors in the United States
Pilots who want to perfect their flying skills
Beginners who want to work as CFIs outside the United States
Pilots who want to improve their career and gain access to more opportunities
