Prince, Fadi, and Tony, Thank you all for the wonderful and extremely challenging 3 weeks at CFI academy. It was a pleasure working with you and one day I plan to be back to complete the CFII and MEI courses as well. All the best! SEE REVIEW BELOW: CFI Academy was an excellent experience overall. I completed the commercial + cfi course in 3 weeks. Keep in mind that it was a great place for me and my fellow classmates, but it is not a place for everybody, certainly not the faint of heart. I will try to elaborate: 1. Instr... read more
CFI Academy is one of the very few flight schools in the country focused solely on producing Certificated Flight Instructors. The owner/principle instructor (Prince) provides the mentoring, oversight, equipment, and FAA examiner scheduling in a small group setting (3-8 students per class). The student must provide the completed knowledge tests and related material (AFH, PHAK, FAR/AIM, etc), attitude, study habits, work ethic, and laser-focus / 100% commitment to do absolutely anything and everything required to obtain th... read more
I was struggling to find a school where I could do an intensive CFI course. CFI Academy is both affordable and flexible and allowed me to work intensively on my own schedule and I successfully passed my CFI checkride. You will be expected to study on your own and I highly recommend taking both of the written exams prior to attending the course so that you can focus on learning how to teach and practicing the skills as you learn them. If you want to be spoonfed the material... better look elsewhere. Prince has been doing this... read more
CFI is an outstanding learnig environment for any future or current aviators. with a personalized approach to teaching, the student learns directly from the veteran experience of instructors. As CEO of the Project Endeavor Aviation Group I highly recommend this academic opportunity. TB Mercer
Great school and a very friendly staff specially the chief instructor (prince)
Best flight school and a great experience
Best place to learn, facility is great and very cozy. Prince is a great instructor, patience, very knowledgeable and passionate about aviation. I highly recommend CFI academy, can't wait to go back to my training :)
*Update: 12/30/2018. I took on a student this month that had been flying with a different instructor for a few months now. I noticed that he wasn’t understanding me when I talked of basic aerodynamics, such as left turning and adverse yaw. Our next lesson was devoted to ground training going over the basics. He had heard them before, but didn’t understand. Thanks to my training at CFI Academy, I knew how to explain the “Why” of flight, and have been since I started teaching. Thanks Prince!* I had been looking for a long time... read more
