How to find a CFI in my area

Asked by: 11257 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation

Is there a source to locate a CFI in an area besides FAA.gov?

Thank you,

Chris

    If I were looking for a CFI in my area, I would begin my search by driving to the nearest GA airport and visitng the FBOs.

    Otherwise, one could conceivably use Google to search for flight school listings nearby.

    There are multiple websites that have lists of CFIs in an area. fugae mentioned NAFI. There is also SAFE http://www.safepilots.org/member-profiles/find-a-safe-educator/, as well as other listings from commercial entities such as the Gold Seal Online flight school, http://www.faa-ground-school.com/# (click on “Find a CFI” in the top right). And, of course, there’s always a simple Google search.

    But if you are starting out, Kris’ advice is best. Find some flight schools at an airport near you and visit.
