On day 1 students must possess a valid form of ID, pilot certificate, current medical, and a copy of your FOI, FIA, and FII written test results.

Prior to Day 1, all students must hold a Commercial Single Engine with instrument rating. FOI, FIA, FII written tests must be completed prior to Day 1 as well. If you do not possess a Spin Endorsement, this can be arranged for completion during the course for a $300 fee.

The course is designed to be a 25-day program not including travel to and from course location. Students should plan to arrive one day early for check-in at the hotel.

This would be discussed between student and instructor due to individual progress and needs of the student. We would be happy to accommodate any needs of the student should this arise. Prices for the additional flight time would be at market rate.

All books and materials are provided to the student at Day 1 arrival. This includes: Pilot Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Instrument Flying Handbook, Airplane Flying Handbook, CFI Oral Exam Guide, CFI PTS, CFII PTS, Current FARAIM, CFI Binder, pens, highlighters, notepad, lesson plan templates, model airplane, miniature whiteboard, and book bag. We recommend bringing a laptop or tablet device with you to the course.

We are located in Olive Branch, MS approximately 25 minutes SouthEast of the Memphis International Airport.

We recommend the convenience of the hotel as it is also the location of the included daily breakfast, the daily classroom, and gives a private space for study time as well as close proximity to classmates for group study time.

It is not required to use our examiners. If you have a local examiner that you prefer to use, please inform us upon registration. We schedule our check rides prior to Day 1 to ensure availability, so prompt information would be greatly appreciated. If you choose to use your local examiner, you may opt to use the 4 hours allotted for examination for extra flight time, or you may also ask for this as a no hassle refund at market value.

We strive for the highest level of success for every student. While we don’t anticipate check ride failures, we understand these do happen. In the event of a check ride failure, we will discuss additional assistance to the student on an individual basis. Any additional flight time, testing fees, or hotel fees would be the responsibility of the student.

Yes. The FOI, FIA, and FII written tests must be completed prior to start of Day 1.

Our contracted flight schools maintain a variety of Cessna C-172 and Piper PA-28 aircraft with both glass and round dial cockpits.

The typical day for a student will consist of 5 hours of classroom training with multiple breaks and a low stress environment. Flight training will occur either in morning (prior to class start time) or afternoon sessions (following class dismissal) depending on aircraft availability. Breakfast is available on the main floor of the hotel daily. Lunch will be catered on all classroom dates. For non-classroom days and during personal time, students are surrounded by many stores and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.
