CFI - 61
Accelerated Instructor Training
Don’t drag out your flight instructor training any longer. Get your CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates efficiently at Blue Line Aviation! Blue Line was founded by Trey after a particularly bad CFI Class experience at ATP. It was the first accelerated course we offered, and it continues to have tremendous success over a decade later.
Our accelerated CFI course is a proven success. We not only get you the ratings, but we prepare you to be a knowledgeable, high-quality flight instructor. Blue Line Aviation produces results, with a first-time pass rate around 85%, well above the national average. You can choose to pursue an individual instructor course, or bundle them together!
You will not fail your checkride due to inadequate or incomplete instruction; we guarantee it. If you do, we will pay for your retraining and retest fees. We want you to THRIVE in our program.
NOTE- The FAA recently (and quietly) imposed further restrictions on DPEs that immediately eliminated more than 66% of CFI Initial checkride availability nationwide. We are working with the FAA to attempt to get them to apply logic to their policy. In the meantime, examiner availability (and, therefore, course availability) will remain limited to avoid delays for our students.
