CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR

PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE COURSE

Your flight instructor curriculum ground study for Phase 1 reviews and delves further into Aerodynamics, Sectional Charts, Airspace and Weather Minimums, and Federal Aviation Regulations.

Your in-flight scenarios begin with exercising the flight controls and thereafter flying all the scenarios from the instructor’s flight station (normally the right seat in a side-by- side cockpit). You will start explaining how to perform maneuvers as you demonstrate them.

For this Phase’s ground lessons, you will look more in depth at the flight instruments, aircraft performance, weather, weigh, and balance, then study how to teach flight maneuvers with the Teaching Maneuvers lab.

During your in-flight scenarios you will demonstrate all designated maneuvers to the specified standards while simultaneously explaining the elements of each maneuver. You will also start using scenarios for introducing a maneuver to a simulated pilot in training.

In this phase, your ground study will include Communications and Radar Services, Radio Navigation, and the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI). After completing the FOI Lab and the question review feature for FOI, you will be prepared to take the FOI knowledge test. You will be involved with planning your in-flight scenarios as instructional flights and expanding lesson scenario development to include all maneuvers. You will also refine error analysis and correction for the simulated pilot in training performance.

Your knowledge study for this phase includes the Cross-Country Planning, Flight Operations and Advanced Ground Instructor Labs as well as concentrated sessions with your instructor in preparation for the practical test.

Your in-flight activities include demonstrating all maneuvers while simultaneously explaining how to fly them, introducing maneuvers to simulated pilots in training, correcting simulated errors, teaching maneuvers appropriate for risk surveillance and mitigation, and demonstrating active instructional level risk awareness, identification and mitigation.

WHAT FLIGHTGEST ACADEMY STUDENTS SAY

"I have always wanted to fly. I had been in GA airplanes before, but I never really began understanding flight until I came to FlightGest. The CFIs were interested in me as an individual and my flying goals, rather than using me to gain hours for their career. The CFIs took standardized lessons and presented them in a tailored fashion as fast as I could absorb and ‘own’ the procedures and techniques. I never left a lesson wondering about the purpose of the experience, although sometimes I am sure they left wondering if I have grasped the concept. I obtained my Private, Instrument and Commercial certificates upon FlightGest training. Recently I completed the pattern and also obtained my CFI certificate. I am certain that was possible because of the encouragement and professionalism I experienced through the FlightGest training program. Desire will get you to the field, but professionalism and tailored training will get you airborne. While other flight schools are also professional and produce successful fliers, my experience is that FlightGest lives a model others could emulate. They do it ‘right’ at FlightGest."
