Flight Training
Instrument Instructor Training (CFII)
Develop the precision, systems knowledge, and teaching judgment to build capable instrument pilots.
Program at a glance
- Training aligned with the Flight Instructor Instrument – Airplane practical test
- Modern glass-cockpit and automation instruction
- Approach, holding, enroute, and IFR decision-making lessons
- Partial-panel, failures, and high-workload scenarios
- Mock oral, teaching scenarios, and flight preparation
The training roadmap
1. Instrument Teaching Foundations
- Organizing IFR concepts for a learner
- Teaching scan, control, and cockpit discipline
- Clearances, charts, regulations, and systems
2. Navigation & Procedure Instruction
- VOR and GPS tracking
- Holding, enroute operations, and ATC procedures
- Briefing and teaching multiple approach types
3. Automation & Abnormal Operations
- Teaching mode awareness and verification
- Recovering from automation surprises
- Partial-panel, missed approaches, and workload management
4. Checkride Readiness
- Scenario-based technical instruction
- Demonstration-quality instrument flying
- Mock oral, mock teaching, and mock flight
Teach modern IFR without losing fundamentals
Students learn to use the Garmin flight deck and autopilot deliberately while preserving hand-flying skill, cross-check discipline, and situational awareness.
Build decision makers
CFII preparation emphasizes how to teach weather judgment, alternate planning, personal minimums, and the real-world decision to continue, divert, delay, or say “unable.”
A connected training environment
Use the RV-12iS avionics environment to connect technical instruction directly to cockpit behavior.
