Certified Flight Instructor for Helicopters
You'll most likely need this to get a job. This course is for pilots who hold a commercial pilot certificate with a
helicopter rating and wish to obtain a flight instructor certificate. A flight
instructor certificate allows a pilot to give flight instruction and to endorse
the logbooks of others. This program is highly recommended to maximize employment
potential. Your first job will likely be an instructor as these
are the easiest jobs to obtain. You will most likely need 300
hours total time in helicopters for these positions as that is the threshold
most helicopter insurance policies require. Our program assumes you have 300
hours helicopter time with 100 hours flying from the left seat after you get
your commercial pilot certificate.

Training at Helicopter Academy:
The training will be adjusted to your individual needs and previous experience.
Our program assumes you have already studied and passed the FAA written exam
for the CFI. Our school trains you to a
level where our instructors feel confident in signing you off. This
program doesn't include any helicopter hours as those are billed at $300 per
hour for this advanced instruction. The the FAA doesn't specify flight time for this rating and
how many hours you will need is dependent upon how great your flying skills
are.
