Project Description
OVERVIEW
The Flight Instructor course (FI) prepares you for the role as a flight instructor. Being a Flight Instructor is one of the most rewarding careers you can have in aviation and makes you an even more experienced and proficient pilot along the way.
During the 3-6 months course program, you will learn how to prepare briefings and conduct practical sessions for flight training. The course will prepare you in explaining theoretical concepts and describing flying maneuvers in a variety of ways.
Being a Flight Instructor is a good way to gain experience after you have finished your commercial pilot training, and it gives you the opportunity to refine your pilot skills.
Our instructors are highly qualified and experienced airline pilots. We have one of the highest percentages of airline experience divided amongst our instructors. This is a key factor for ensuring that our programs are up to date, meeting standards and requirements in a changing aviation industry.
