What makes our FI Training unique?
- The instructors (F.I.I.'s) at E-Flight Academy have extensive experience in training instructors. Our head of training (Evert-Jan Feld) has been training instructors for organizations including the military for years. The program is challenging, but highly educational and of very high quality. We are the only ones in the world who fly almost the entire course on an electric aircraft. The advantage here is that you not only fly cleanly, but in addition to your standard FI license you also learn to fly an electric aircraft and are therefore allowed to instruct on it after your exam.
- No waiting list! Start quickly.
