The plan
A suggested route, at your own pace
This is a recommended order, not a deadline. The course is self-paced — you study at your own time, and different packages and models are available because every student's needs are different. Wherever you are in your training and however much time you have, we cater for you.
Stage 1
Applied meteorology — reading, interpreting and explaining the weather to a student.
Stage 2
Applied navigation — the calculations and planning you will teach every day.
Stage 3
Principles of flight and legislation for aeroplane or helicopter instructors.
Stage 4
Mock assessments and targeted revision before the SACAA exam.
Honesty
Is this course for you?
A good fit if…
- Commercial pilots working towards their flight instructor rating
- Aeroplane and helicopter pilots preparing for the instructor theory exams
- Instructors who want a structured refresher before they write
Probably not if…
- Pilots who have not yet met the entry requirements for instructor training
- Anyone looking for a question dump without structured learning
