What is a flight instructor?
A flight instructor is an individual who teaches people to fly a plane. Flying and teaching Regulations are created and enforced by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA sets specific standards for three different types of air instructors certification that the flight instructor can obtain.
When the pilot decides to instruct others to fly, they must become a certified flight instructor (CFI). In order to obtain its CFI evaluation, the pilot already organizes the license of its commercial pilot and medical class. It will have to perform two written tests and achieve a score of score, which is more than 70 percent. One of the tests includes a ground school material, while the other deals with the principles of teaching. After completing a written part of his tests, he can carry out a check ride to obtain the CFI.VFR (Visual Flight Rules) is a set of regulations that determine the specific minimum weather conditions and the airspace in which the pilot can work. Instructors and students are visually responsible for maintenanceSetting up departments from other aircraft and bad weather.
If an instructor wants to teach a student to fly in additional weather or weather under a minimum of VFR, he is obliged to obtain a certified flight (CFII) evaluation. Cfiis fly in the weather of IFR (flight Let ALGHT), which requires that when operating aircraft depend only on their instruments. In addition, they help their students acquire a pilot's assessment by teaching them to fly "under the hood". The bonnet is a large plastic piece that fits the student's head and forces him to look at his instruments and not outside the plane. The pilot must also hand over all CFI assessment to obtain its CFII.
The final type of evaluation of the air instructor is the evaluation of the instructor (MEI) with multiple instructors. Cfi who decide to teach students how to fly an aircraft that have more than one engine must get their rating mEi. In order to obtain the MEI rating, the flight instructor must have a CFI assessment and five hours of pilot time in the headquarters in all the multi -engine levels in which it instructs. The flight instructor holding its CFII and Mei is called instruments with multiple instruments (Meii). It is also important to realize that this year's instructors can get and instruct additional rating, such as glider and hot air balloon.
