What Makes American Flyers Special

Instrument Rating Specialists

American Flyers is known nationwide as the instrument rating specialists. Their Instrument Refresher Course (IRC) is legendary — an intensive program that takes pilots from VFR to confident IFR in a compressed timeframe with high success rates.

CFII Development Program

The Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII) program at American Flyers is one of the most respected in the industry. Graduates go on to teach at major flight schools, airlines, and military training programs. The CFII is the gold standard for instrument instruction.

Accelerated Programs

American Flyers offers accelerated instrument rating programs that can be completed in as little as 10 days. The immersion approach — flying every day, multiple times per day — builds muscle memory and confidence faster than traditional part-time training.

Glass Cockpit Training

All training is conducted in modern aircraft with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits. American Flyers emphasizes proficiency with modern avionics, preparing pilots for the IFR environment they'll encounter in real-world commercial and corporate flying.
