About Us
Built for the CFI Checkride
Becoming a flight instructor is not hard because the flying is hard. It is hard because now you have to teach it – explain it, organize it, and defend it in a long oral exam. ClearCut CFI turns that mountain into a checklist: ACS-aligned lesson plans, video lectures, cockpit recordings of real instruction, and full-length mock orals with real students.
Why We Built This
Most CFI applicants do not fail because they lack knowledge. They fail because nobody showed them how the oral actually flows, what examiners really ask, and how to teach out loud. We built the course we wish we had.

Our Approach
How We Teach
'It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.'
That mindset is the heart of the Fundamentals of Instruction – and the heart of this course. We do not hand you scripts to memorize. We show you how instruction actually works, so you can walk into the oral ready to teach, not just recite.
Every module tracks the CFI ACS Areas of Operation, so nothing on the examiner list surprises you. You watch real lessons happen in the cockpit, hear how strong answers sound in full-length mock orals, and build a lesson plan library you will keep using long after the checkride. Study between flights, at your own pace, with lifetime access on the full course.
Built Around the CFI ACS
Every module tracks the ACS Areas of Operation, so when the examiner works down the list, you have already covered it.
Study Between Flights
Self-paced video you can fit around flying, work, and life. No classroom schedule.
Backed by the Guarantee
Finish the full course, and if you do not pass your CFI oral, you get your money back.
