Instructors who’ve been there before.
IFTI flight test training courses are taught by instructors with remarkable experience and impeccable qualifications for the job — experienced test pilots and flight test engineers, former military instructors with many thousands of hours logged, aerodynamicists, instrumentation engineers, and avionics and systems engineers. Many of our engineers are also FAA DER’s in their respective fields.
