Frequently Asked Questions
You will notice that your days will have a cadence that goes something like this:
- Classroom/ground training. (2.5 hours) We teach you how to teach the a given lesson and review other items that pertain to the CFI training.
- Fly/instruct in the aircraft (1-2 hours) were you will apply that knowledge with you in the instructor role.
- Critique (0.5 – 1 hours) Answer questions, review of things that went well and focus areas of the flight.
- Debrief (1 hours) Homework/next lessons plan.
Ideally yes. We try to pair run our courses in even numbers for this vary reason.
We’ve found through our own personal training and training of other aviators that many learn best by observing, practicing (chair flying), and then executing. That said we’ve found tremendous benefit in having 2 CFI candidates partner up helping each other teach lessons, observing their flights, and providing peer feedback.
Short answer is yes. However, you need to recognize that this will put some added pressure on you to complete the written test. We keep our courses focused largely on teaching you what you need to know to be an effective instructor and successfully complete the course.
We have several testing centers in the area that you can schedule at.
This is a tough one as there are allot of good resources out there. In terms of simply understanding what’s on the written test and being prepared for that Sheppard Air is the way to go.
Combine that with FAA Publications and Youtube it should have you more than adequately prepared for the written test.
We want to have a small amount of buffer in there to allow for any variability in training, weather, or any other curve balls that may come up.
The CFI training courses are offered at Waukesha Airport (UES) at Steins Aircraft Services FBO.
