Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII)
An add-on to your CFI — teach instrument students.
This is an add-on course to an existing Flight Instructor certificate. The CFII allows you to teach the Instrument Rating and give instrument proficiency checks — and it makes you far more employable, because instrument students are a large share of every school's flying.
Training concentrates on teaching instrument procedures from the right seat: scanning, approaches, holds, and the decision-making that keeps IFR flights safe.
What you'll learn
- Teaching instrument scan, interpretation, and control
- Teaching approaches, holds, and IFR procedures
- Instrument proficiency checks
- Review for the FII written and the checkride
Where this takes you
- Teach instrument students and fly in all weather
- Eligible for the sponsored ratings under the 40-Hour Challenge
- Full-time CFI/CFII employment eligibility at OCFC
Requirements
