Additional Info
Here’s some good info to know:
- There is no minimum flight time needed to become a CFII. Usually, your IFR proficiency will determine how much flight training you will need. We find that the average student takes about 7 hours of dual flight training to get signed off.
- Typically, if you fly more frequently, you will retain knowledge from each flight better, and will spend less money overall during training. We recommend flying three days per week for best knowledge retention.
Duration
This course typically takes about 1-2 weeks to complete, if you are flying three days per week. If you’re adding CFII privileges to your existing CFI certificate, this should be relatively quick and easy compared to other ratings or certificates.
Requirements
In order to become a CFII, you will need the following:
- At least 18 Years Old
- Hold a US CFI Certificate
- Yes, you can get your CFII before your CFI, however we recommend getting your CFI done first.
- Third Class Medical Certificate (we can recommend some Aviation Medical Examiners)
