A large number of career helicopter pilots started their first flying
job as a CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. A Certified Flight Instructor has
priveleges which allow training other helicopter pilots. This is the most
common first step for newly rated commercial pilots, and is the beginning
of many helicopter careers.
Elements covered in the CFI course include:
- Knowledge of the Fundamentals of Instruction
- Lesson plan preparation
- Flight evaluations
- Effective pre/post flight instruction
- Analysis of student pilot errors and common problems
- Flight instructor roles and responsibilities
Flight training and ground training vary widely at this phase, and in
most cases is accomplished on a single instructor to student basis.
When you reach the level of training required for CFI or CFII, you can
count on BHH to thoroughly prepare you for your checkride. The CFI is
one of the toughest checkrides you will perform in your career, so don't
leave it to chance. BHH has the CFI or CFII program, and the quialified
instructors to prepare you - on the ground and in the cockpit.
