Certified Flight Instructor Ground School

If you are an commercially certificated pilot, getting your Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate is the next part of your aviation journey. Obtaining your CFI certificate allows you to teach and train aspiring pilots, gaining valuable experience and flight hours. To fly safely and professionally as a CFI, you'll need to become familiar with advanced teaching techniques, flight maneuvers, and the fundamentals of instruction.

Flying as a CFI means adhering to higher standards of precision and proficiency. You'll need to master flight maneuvers, navigate challenging instructional situations, and communicate effectively with your students and ATC (air traffic control). Additionally, while having a CFI certificate opens up many opportunities, you'll need to understand the limitations and regulations to ensure safe and efficient operations. Enrolling in our CFI ground school is your chance to meet with a seasoned CFI and other pilots who are in similar stages of their aviation careers. Give us a call today and stop by Alto Flight Academy for more information.

Our CFI Ground School consists of group classes held at Sundance Airport KHSD in Oklahoma City, OK. These classes will help prepare you to take the FAA written exams: the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) and the Flight Instructor Airplane (FIA), which are prerequisites for obtaining your CFI certificate. When you enroll in our CFI ground school course, you'll also receive a comprehensive syllabus covering both the flight and ground lessons you'll need.

One of the major benefits of becoming a CFI is the opportunity to build flight hours towards the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate. As a CFI, you'll gain substantial flight experience, which is essential for meeting the ATP minimums required to become an airline pilot. This path not only enhances your skills and knowledge but also helps you accumulate the necessary flight time in a structured and rewarding environment.

To enroll in our CFI Ground School, the cost is $645. At the end of the course, you'll receive an endorsement from our certified flight instructor. This endorsement will certify that you have completed the necessary ground training and are prepared for the FAA written exams and practical test.
