Learning to fly an airplane requires you to work one-on-one with a professional pilot called a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI)—which refers to the FAA credentials that this person must hold. You may have worked closely with an instructor when you’ve learned to drive, or SCUBA dive, or ride a horse, or any number of similar activities, so you know that choosing the right instructor is critical to your success.
Learn to Fly: Finding the Right Instructor
Key Takeaways:
- Thoroughly interview several flight instructor candidates to assess their teaching style and ensure a good professional relationship.
- Prioritize instructors who demonstrate attention to detail through a structured syllabus and comprehensive pre-flight and post-flight briefings.
- Confirm the instructor's consistent availability to match your schedule and expect to pay for all their time, including ground instruction, as this often signifies more efficient and higher-quality training.
