Classes start on the first Monday of each month. Upon enrollment, you will receive an email containing documents that must be reviewed, submitted, and accompanied by the $1000 deposit to secure enrollment. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once your documents are submitted and the deposit is paid your spot will be secured in the class.

We understand the importance of scheduling a checkride as soon as possible following the course. At this time, we have been successful in securing rides for our CFI students within a month of their course completion date. This success assumes the student is adequately prepared and has received the necessary sign-off from their instructor.

We have arrangements with multiple DPEs who commit to conducting checkrides each month. In the rare event that a DPE is unavailable at the end of your course, we’ll make every effort to schedule your checkride within the month.

Colorado offers a stunning environment for flying. If you have any additional questions or are looking to reserve your spot, we are happy to assist you!
