Flight instructors are commercial pilots who teach students to fly using simulators or dual-controlled aircraft. Aspiring flight instructors first need to have a commercial pilot’s license and receive their Certified Flight Instructor certificate to qualify to teach students to fly. Additional training is required to teach students about other aircraft instrumentation or multi-engine planes.
