If the initial CFI is about fundamentals, the CFII is about precision. You are teaching pilots how to operate in cloud layers and high-workload IFR environments.
At D&J, we ensure your instrument scan is ironclad so you can maintain situational awareness while your student is under the hood.
Technical Depth
You will be breaking down holding entries, weather systems, and alternate requirements step-by-step.
Instructional Clarity
We train you to teach structured IFR procedures clearly, even when the workload in the cockpit peaks.
System Authority
Your endorsement confirms a pilot can safely manage the National Airspace System in actual IFR conditions.
For this CFII add-on, most instructors spend $5,365+ for 10 hours of aircraft time, 30 hours with a flight instructor, written exams, and the examiner fee. Training materials are not included.
Professional Training Equipment and Facilities
Complex Routing:
Utilize Sanford (SFB) and the surrounding Orlando IFR corridors to teach real-world arrivals and departures.
The CFII Fleet:
Our Piper Archer TX fleet, equipped with the Garmin G1000 NXi and GFC 700 autopilot, allows you to teach the exact automation logic used by the airlines.
CFII Planning Session
We’ll review your IFR proficiency and build a plan to move you through the FII knowledge test and practical sequencing.
