For commercial pilots interested in teaching and developing the skills to support another person's learning. This describes the intended audience, not a blanket CPL-only entry rule: our team reviews your qualifications and experience against the applicable rating and endorsement pathway.
Inside the course
What you work on
01
Understand how students learn
Study instructional principles and methods, then prepare student-centred lesson plans and ground briefings with a clear learning goal.
02
Explain and demonstrate
Practise clear explanations and flight demonstrations. Learn to recognise student errors and adapt your instruction rather than simply show your own handling skills.
03
Review progress and debrief
Observe learning, assess progress and give constructive debriefs that help a student understand what to practise next.
What this prepares you for
A Flight Instructor Rating with at least one training endorsement authorises the instruction covered by those privileges. Applicants must meet the applicable experience, medical, instructional theory, PIRC and flight test requirements for the rating and relevant endorsement. Initial privileges and supervision depend on the endorsement held.
