Thank you for your interest in getting paired up with an independent CFI near you.

If you are reading this page, it is because you have visited the Fly with Trent directory of independent CFIs and were not able to find a CFI in your area.

The good news is that we can probably help solve this problem.

How I Can Help You:

Selecting a CFI is by far the most important decision that you will make at the start of your training.

❌ Choose the CFI, and you will end up taking far longer and spending far more than you need to on your way to becoming a professional pilot.

✅ Choose the right CFI, and your training experience will be much like my own: fast, efficient, well organized, & very cost effective.

The challenge for most people who are new to aviation is that they have no idea how to find a qualified independent CFI near where they want to train.

How It Works:

If you’d like to start doing your accelerated training with Independent Flight Instructor, all you need to do is follow the steps below:

Step 1: Make your $99 payment.

Step 2: The Fly with Trent team will start the search to find at least 5 independent CFIs in the area you designate.

Benefits To You:

When you work with us to help you find an independent flight instructor, you will:

• Not have to call/visit all the flight schools near you (plus, you probably don't know what to ask them)

• Save tens of thousands of dollars on your way from zero to CFI vs the cost of one of the big box schools

• Experience little to no turnover in your instructor (thought you can always pick a new one if you wish)

• Have your schedule planned out weeks in advance instead of just days in advance, which is so common among most flight schools

• Follow an approved syllabus for your training

• Know that you are training with a school that believes in accelerated flight training and will support your goal of achieving your ratings quickly, safely, and cost effectively.
