  •    THIS IS A FULL TIME COMMITMENT. Success will be dependent on your preparedness, involvement & effort. We highly encourage CFI candidates’ study and practice together outside of course as much as possible.  

  •    We are NOT “selling” a CFI check ride or endorsement. That will be earned by each individual.

  •    CFI Check-ride endorsement will require:

      1) Recommendation from your primary flight instructor.

      2) A successful mock check-ride with the Chief Instructor.

  •    In the event that a Candidate is not ready for the pre-scheduled check ride, Fly Quest will assist with obtaining another date, however in the end it will be dependent on you and the availability of the DPE.
