Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)

Once you’ve mastered your own flying skills, the next step is sharing that knowledge with others. As a Certified Flight Instructor, you’ll gain the ability to train new pilots, build flight experience, and refine your own precision and communication in the cockpit.

Instrument Rating

Once you have joined the pilot community with your new Private Pilot Certificate, the next step is to venture into the world of flying in sub-optimal conditions. Fly through clouds, reduced visibility, and safer separation from other traffic as you fly IFR!
