FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION COURSE INTRODUCTION
This program is designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to obtain a certified Flight Instructor –
Airplane, Single Engine or Multi-Engine Certificate.
COURSE OVERVIEW
The course is structured into ground and flight segments. All ground training is completed before commencing
flight training. This allows all required knowledge subjects areas and lesson planning to be satisfactory before flight
instruction. The flight instructor knowledge tests must be completed before flight training.
GROUND TRAINING
Ground training includes the following subject areas:
• The learning process
• Elements of effective teaching
• Student evaluation and effective testing
• Course development
• Lesson planning
• Classroom training techniques
• Technical subject areas
STAGE EXAMS
Stage exams are given at the completion of each module of training to measure trainee knowledge. Stage exams are
conducted using verbal testing from selected questions.
FINAL EXAMS
The final exam will measure the trainee’s knowledge of the entire course as well as measure preparation for the
FAA written test.
FLIGHT TRAINING
Flight training will include preflight briefings with the student conducting the actual lesson review, technical and
procedural topics and lesson completion objectives. All tasks from the CFI PTS are included in the flight-training
course. The Flight Instructor Airplane Initial course may be conducted in a single engine airplane or multi-engine
airplane.
STAGE CHECKS
Stage checks and an end of course check are used to measure student progress.

instructional techniques. The trainee will obtain the instructional knowledge of the elements of the listed
emergency operations, including recognition, analysis, and correction of common trainee errors. The
trainee will address how distractions can lead to a lack of situational awareness, resulting in loss of control
during engine-out operations and procedures.
Lesson Completion Standards:
• At the completion of this lesson, the trainee will be able to analyze and perform each of the maneuvers and
procedures at a proficiency level that meets or exceeds the criteria outlined in the multi-engine land
sections of the private pilot, commercial pilot, and flight instructor practical test standards, as appropriate.
In addition, the trainee will demonstrate the instructional knowledge of the elements of the maneuvers and
procedures, including recognition, analysis, and correction of common trainee errors.

FLIGHT LESSON 14- MEL
STAGE CHECK
Lesson Objectives:
• During this lesson, the chief instructor, the assistant chief instructor, or a designated check instructor will determine
that the trainee meets the proficiency requirements for a flight instructor certificate with an airplane, multi-engine land
class rating. In addition, the trainee will demonstrate methods to incorporate the ADM principles of pilot-in-command
responsibility, communication, workload management resource use, and situational awareness to ground and flight
operations.
Lesson Completion Standards:
• At the completion of this lesson, the trainee will demonstrate the skill and instructional knowledge required to
successfully complete the flight instructor airplane, multi-engine practical test. Each maneuver and procedure will be
performed at a proficiency level that meets or exceeds the criteria outlined in the multi-engine land sections of the
current FAA private pilot, commercial pilot, and flight instructor practical test standards, as appropriate.
