Flight Instruction under part 61
Asked by: Sans 3659 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor
This question is for flight instructors to answer.
I am going to do my CFI under part 61. I know that taking the training under 61 means training to proficiency and it mainly depends on how will the student prepares and progress but I would like to hear from those CFIs who done it under 61, what are the realistic ground & flight times it usually takes to complete the CFI under part 61 in average . I am asking this question because I think that FAA part 141 minimum hours for the CFI is just too much (40 of ground time and 25 hours). The school I am training at charges $45/ ground hrs and has to be one-on-one instruction which will be very expensive for me.
