CFI & CFII Academy

You don't really know it until you can teach it.

Master the Right Seat

The CFI checkride is widely considered the most difficult test in aviation. It requires not just flying skill, but the ability to talk, teach, and analyze simultaneously.

We specialize in creating educators, not just time-builders.

Extra 300

Spin Training Endorsement

Required for all initial CFI applicants. We partner with Texas Fly Girl (a competition aerobatic pilot!) to conduct spin training in either an Extra 300 or Decathalon.

It's not about surviving the maneuver; it's about teaching the recovery calmly while staring at the ground spinning.

The Process

FOI (Fundamentals of Instruction)

We dig deep into the psychology of learning. How do students retain info? How do you handle a plateau? You learn to teach the human, not just the content.

Lesson Plans

You will build your own binder of lesson plans. No buying a generic one online. You need to own the material so you can teach it without a script.

Right Seat Transition

Everything looks different from the right. Sight pictures, parallax, and switching hands. We'll get you comfortable flying to commercial standards from the "other" side.

Don't Just Build Time. Build Pilots.

If you're just looking to watch the Hobbs meter spin, go elsewhere. We train mentors who are ready to shape the next generation of aviators.
