FI - Flight Instructor

They say you will only learn something for real if you teach it yourself. Training to become a flight instructor will greatly enhance your flying skill and teach you how to manage a flight on a new level.

Flight Instructor training at Green Flight Academy is conducted by instructors with years of teaching experience and it is the world’s only FI course with electric aeroplanes.

We fly electric Pipistrel Velis Electro and Tecnam P2010tdi and differences training on both aeroplanes are included.

We are always looking for talented Flight Instructors. If you complete our FI course during spring 2024 there is a high chance of employment.

It is a truly special feeling when you send your very first student on their first solo flight.

Just a few weeks prior your student had never flown an airplane before and now they are safely taking to the skies on their own. Teaching others the skills you have acquired is the ultimate way to enhance your own flying skill and ability to work together with others.

Being a flight instructor is not only the ability to demonstrate manoeuvres with great precision but also your competence in finding a teaching method that will make your student reach their goals.

The Flight Instructor course enhances your flying skill and gives you the teaching tools and methods you will need in your future career as an instructor. After the course you will also notice that your overall situational awareness, decision making skills, communication and workload management have all improved.
