Flight schools with self-examining authority for CFI rating
Posted by RutabagaBitter8165@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 11 comments
Been doing some research on flight schools that have self examining authority not much comes up on google. Apart from US aviation and thrust flight in Texas. Does anyone know any schools in Florida that are self examining specifically for CFI? Like for example L3harris or Phoenix East, not sure if they have CFI self examining authority. If anyone knows please chime in. I already have all my other ratings in hand and I am looking to just get my CFI cert quick without having to go through a dpe.

L3 Harris in Florida has examining authority for cfi/ii. But it’s 28,000

That makes no sense 28k. Thats ridiculous are they making you do it in a cirrus lol? CFI alone shouldnt be more than 15k and CFII shoulnt be more than 5k.

I know it’s insane. I think they do it in a Cherokee. They’re straight up scalping people for that price. Cfi/ii shouldn’t be more than 15k with checkride fees. I guess you’re paying for a premium with having self examining for Cfi.

Why don’t you want to go through a DPE?

Presumably to get the rating quickly without waiting 2-3 months after being endorsed

There are schools with in-house DPEs too

Could always go through a fsdo. There’s always some new ASI that needs OJT. Maybe not the fsdo you want, but there’s plenty out there and it’s free.

L3 does for CFI. Not for CFII though.
