The Flight Instructor Rating is offered to pilots who hold a professional license and who wish to advance in the aviation community as an instructor. This choice is an excellent way to accumulate flying hours while being paid. The course is given by a Class 1 instructor who will teach you how to fly by reviewing all the flight exercises in depth. After your theoretical knowledge course, you will be ready to take your written examination and then your flight test with a Transport Canada inspector. With this qualification in hand, you will be ready to teach future pilots!
