For over ten years, Aviation Solutions has offered unique programs specifically for soon-to-be Class 1 and Class 2 Flight Instructors.

What People Are Saying
“I attended your Class 2 Upgrade course and wanted to let you know that I just completed my upgrade ride. Your course, and supporting materials, were instrumental in ensuring that I was thoroughly prepared to pass my test. The course provided tremendous insights into the role of the CFI, as well as the additional responsibilities of a supervising instructor. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone considering a Class 2 instructor upgrade/renewal flight test. Thank you kindly for putting together a great course.”

“Thank you once more for the day yesterday. It was everything I was looking for in getting me started down the road towards the Class 1. You imparted lots of information in your own inimitable way, clearly and effectively.”
- Michael Bloss
“I found the pre-course work really helpful to get back into the regulatory material – especially for reviewing the different CARs sections. The questions were fair and gave me a better background of what I need to review before walking into the course. Thanks for the preparation material and the instant feedback. As usual, the course itself was fantastic – well presented and helpful for everything that is to come with new responsibilities. I appreciate your expertise and how thorough the material was, thank you!”
