American Flyers, CFI/I academy discount
I have just recently gone through the CFI/I academy at American flyers, and I still have the text book for the course. If anyone is thinking about going to this program please let me know if you would like to save some money on the books. I bought them for 320, Ill sell them for 260, you save 60, 60 = starbucks for an entire month

Great program, i went through the one in Santa Monica. It's very tough though. Its a 30 day program, everyday, typically 8-12 daily, but your probably going to spend all day there working on creating lesson plans and presenting them. If you are seriously thinking about going let me know, Ill give you some really helpful pointers.

You cant get it done in less then thirty days, but in the 30 days you will get both the CFIA and CFII. Prices range between 3000-6000, depending on whether you go 61 or 141 (61 being cheaper). call American flyers, and theyll give you all the specs. If you decide to go, Ill have your books waiting for you. good day

On this subject, the AF CFI Academy is a pretty good deal for most folks ,unlike their other programs which are WAY overpriced. Also don't work their unless you have access to a ME airplane, cuz you won't get your twin time at AF.
