Here are five ways the AOPA Flight Training Advantage (AFTA) platform can help make flight training more efficient and improve results for all involved.

  1. Maximize your time in the airplane
    Ever get frustrated with trying to recall how to do maneuvers when you really should be focusing on what is happening in the aircraft? Practice procedures at home with AFTA. In the student portal, review maneuvers with step-by-step instructions from start to finish.
  2. Save time on ground instruction
    Spend less time on ground instruction and more time in the air with AFTA’s prep work. The student portal lets you see what your instructor has planned for your next lesson, and assigns the relevant prep work to help you understand the material before you head to the airport.
  3. Take advantage of advice
    AFTA provides teaching tips and ideas from experienced CFIs for each lesson to make your teaching more effective. CFIs both new and seasoned can learn new ways to help their students better understand the subject matter.
  4. Stay organized
    Instructing keeps CFIs busy, especially when working with multiple students. AFTA helps keep everything organized by making sure you hit all the required airman certification standards and regulatory requirements. Plus, you can record notes and reminders to pick up exactly where you left off.
  5. Get a bird’s-eye view
    Gain insight into your school by being able to see just how your students and CFIs are progressing. See the big picture and dig where you want to see more detail on a student or CFI. Help your staff and customers have the best training experience possible.
