Course Description
Instruction, flight training and practice teaching that will allow the student to obtain the aeronautical skill and knowledge necessary to apply for the FAA Flight Instructor Instrument and Multi-Engine practical test.
Addendum to Course Description
The Flight Instructor Instrument/Multi-Engine ground school course is designed to teach the aeronautical knowledge areas necessary to take the Flight Instructor Instrument knowledge test and provide preparation towards the CFII/MEI practical tests. Lectures, discussions, videos, handouts, and written tests will provide the student with the information needed to accomplish this. Class participants will be expected to invest time outside of class to master the course content. Material missed by students during an allowed absence will be made available to them as selected by the instructor and the applicable FAR requirements.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of this course the student should be able to:
