Recommended“I did a lot of research when it came to finding the right flight school for me to finish my CFI ratings. I was looking for something accelerated, efficiency, and economical. I came across the CFI Academy and right away I knew this was going to be the place for me. I flew over 3,000 miles to make it to CFI Academy, but the journey was worth it. Prince is the best instructor I have ever had. His knowledge, patience, and flexibility are some of the many attributes that I will strive towards in my instructing career. I'm glad t... read more

He Denny ...thanks!! I still gotta come visit you, soon! Stay in touch.
During the past few days after I passed my CFI Check Ride, I still could not believe it has happened - short story. I spent two and a half weeks at CFI Academy. Coming from a Part 141 environment, it took me a while to get used to the casual environment with a group of highly motivated self-starters, and of course, with the supervision of one of the MOST knowledgeable CFIs I’ve ever worked with - Prince. Even though the atmosphere is casual, the materials are not. A lot of great information was made available to us to prep ... read more

Prince is one of the most knowledgeable instructors I have ever met. He took some of the bad habits old instructors instilled in me and broke them off of me. It was great working with him.
Business response:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Mike. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. Cheers, CFI Academy
If you're reading this, it's probably because you are in the same place I was a couple months back. Attending CFI Academy was one of the greatest moves I have ever made. Prince is one of the most challenging and knowledgeable instructors I have ever worked with. Knowing the answers isn't good enough for him. After a week, instead of answering questions, you will be teaching the answers. You can probably learn just as much anywhere else you go, but I can promise you, you won't be ready to TEACH like you would be after going t... read more

CFWhy, I hate this word, but One of requirements to receive endorsements from Prince is each student must bring one lesson from CFI pts and give lesson to other students. Every single time I provide lesson in front, Prince always told me please explain “WHY” it happens. It drove me crazy and sometimes it was really stressful. Addition to this he was really good at pretending to be student who doesn`t know anything about aviation. Whenever I didn`t make answer he asked me, there existed long awkward moment in the class. I nev... read more
