Flight Instructor (FI)

Flight Instructor (FI), become a flight instructor

Do you have extensive experience in piloting aircraft and would like to pass on your knowledge and experience to others? Then take the next step in your flying career and become a flight instructor.

This course not only requires you to have good flying skills, but also the correct and clear communication of information is a skill that is highly developed in this course. In short: a huge enrichment of your experience.

Being a flight instructor is more than flying, you learn to learn

During this course, you will be trained to become an FI (Flight Instructor). Being a flight instructor is about teaching someone something and that learning is what we teach you in our training. For this reason, you will first work on theory to lay a solid foundation before taking to the air with a 'student'. You will also sit in the right seat in the cockpit instead of the left one. This gives a new and different perspective on flying. You will experience all this for yourself and you will experience what it is like to transfer your knowledge and skills to another person.

After obtaining your FI, you can continue learning to also teach Instrument Rating or as a Class Rating Instructor (ME). 

What do you have to comply with?

Entry requirements:

*For teaching PPL, you need to have passed at least CPL theory. If you do not have this, you are limited to LAPL only instruction.

** Depending on whether you have a PPL or CPL licence.

Commercial Pilot Licence / ATPL theory

For our CPL/ATPL theory, we work with Distance learning. We partner with Orbit Groundschool for this purpose. Orbit Groundschool has an online system based on BSG (Bristol Ground School). In which, through Orbit Groundschool, you take the Progress Test (PT) remotely and follow an on-line brushup. Once you have successfully completed the PT and the Bruschup, you can take exams on site at Orbit Groundschool through Austro Control.

In addition, it is also possible not to take the exams at Austro Control, but to take your exam at the CBR
