How it works
InstaCFI.com simplifies the process of connecting flight instructors with students. Through the user-friendly platform, you can browse through a diverse selection of experienced and certified flight instructors who specialize in various areas of aviation. Whether you’re a student or pilot looking to advance your skills or a flight simmer looking for real aviation learning, their instructors are here to guide you.

Once you’ve chosen an instructor, you can schedule online video meetings at a time that suits you best. A virtual classroom provides a secure and interactive environment for you to learn, ask questions, and receive personalized instruction. With cutting-edge video conferencing technology, it’s like having your instructor right by your side, even if you’re miles apart.

A multitude of skills in aviation learning can be effectively practiced and understood without incurring the cost of an approved flight simulator. Some examples include mastering the GPS system, simulating instrument failures, perfecting pattern entry, familiarizing yourself with runway and taxiway markings, navigating airspace entry and avoidance, simulating engine-out scenarios, receiving visual feedback of the rectangular pattern, honing descent procedures, understanding VOR operations, mastering DG or HSI utilization, and optimizing autopilot usage.

Requirements
InstaCFI prioritizes the privacy and security of your online interactions. Its platform is built with the latest encryption technology to ensure a safe learning environment. Google Meet is used to conduct training, so only a web browser is required. If using a flight sim application on your computer, it must already be installed, working, and you should know how to use it.
