Stick-n-Rudder Flight Training, LLC®

New Classes Start Monday ~ January 17, 2011

Flight Instructor ~ Fundamentals of Instruction & Advanced Ground Instructor

(click to enroll)

$ 199 Includes the Commercial/Sport/Private Pilot course.

Are you a licensed pilot with an instrument rating?  Do you have more than 200 flight hours?  Have you considered taking the next step and adding your Commercial or Flight Instructor certificates to your qualifications?  Having a pilot license is a commitment to lifelong learning and a dedication to improving your flight skills and helping others to enjoy aviation.  Becoming a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) is 99% mental and 1% stick-n-rudder skills.  Being a CFI is a commitment to a lifestyle; being a good aviator, safety conscious, knowledgeable, and a desire to mentor and share aviation with others.

At Stick-n-Rudder Flight Training, LLC® we have trained hundreds of new and experienced pilots, along with new and experienced flight instructors across Minnesota.  Join us for our next eight week ground school, Monday's 1700~1930 hours, at Fleming Field KSGS in South Saint Paul MN.  Learn what it takes to go from Private Pilot, to Certificated Flight Instructor.  CFI Candidates will intern by student teaching with us the Commercial/Sport/Private Pilot course.

Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic ~ Two Year FIRC

(click to enroll)

$ 99 and includes processing of your FAA 8710-1 application.

Flight Instructors must renew their certificates every two years (14 CFR §61.197) with the FAA either by passing a Practical Exam for a new rating, providing proof of training successful students who became licensed pilots, or via a Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC).  You will usually find these courses sold as a self-paced/online  'do it yourself' program, or at a two day accelerated clinic. We believe a more meaningful approach to learning is to do it with others over an extended eight week program where you interact with, and also share in teaching the course, with the other CFI Candidates.  *FIRC pending 2011 FAA approval.

Sport, Private, and Commercial Pilot Certificate FAA Knowledge Test & Oral Examination preparation course.

(click to enroll)

$ 299 and includes endorsements for your FAA Knowledge Test prerequisites  upon completion of all eight weeks. 

Have you always wanted to learn to fly or just learn more about aviation from the ground up?  Have you already started flight training but have questions about FAA regulations, aeronautical decision making and weather, cross country flight planning and working with the E6B?  Trouble with weight & balance computations?  Are you getting ready for your Practical Exam with a Designated Pilot Examiner and need a refresher to prepare you for the Oral Examination?  Are you ready to take the FAA Knowledge Test?  Has it been a few years since you last flew, or are getting ready to take your biennial Flight Review? 

This course will prepare you for each of those items and you will confidently walk into your next exam knowing that you have the knowledge to not just pass the exam, but to understand the questions and to be able to explain your answers to the examiner.  Sport, Private, and Commercial pilot applicants should attend this course.   CFI Candidates will learn the basics of being a flight instructor and begin to have "instructional knowledge" of the materials as required by FAA regulations for their practical examination.

Instrument Rating & Instrument Ground Instructor Course

$ 299 and includes endorsements for your FAA Knowledge Test prerequisites  upon completion of all eight weeks.

All pilots should continue to hone their flight skills and learn to fly with precision.  Having an instrument rating on your pilot certificate enables you to fly into, or above, the clouds should the need arise if your skills and aircraft capabilities allow.  It will also teach you much more about cross country flight planning, interpreting weather systems, making go/no go decisions, crew/cockpit resource management, aeronautical decision making skills and aviation judgment than any of your prior flight training has done.  

The course fees are due the first night of class, textbook fees upon ordering.  Individual instruction will be available at $ 50 per hour, two hour session minimum, if requested.    The text materials are the 2011 Gleim courses and syllabi and are in addition to the course fee.  Kits ordered through Stick-n-Rudder Flight Training, LLC® receive free shipping and a 5% discount if ordered before January 10, 2011.  Click the links below for Kit details, email me directly to order:

Please call Scott Johnson @ 612-386-1120 or email Scott@SticknRudder.com to register and to order course materials.  Seating is limited. 

Attention Independent Flight Instructors:  We pay generous referral fees if you refer your students to us for their ground instruction. We can also bring a custom course to your airport if you have a larger group of students.  The most important part of learning to fly is a quality ground school.  Flight Training begins on the ground, not in the air.

Students who complete our courses are invited to come back and audit future classes at no additional charge.  We believe that earning your initial Pilot's license is only the beginning, and that learning is a lifelong continuous process.
