CFI Marketplace
Find a CFI
Connect with a verified FAA Certificated Flight Instructor for live one-on-one ground instruction. Sessions run on Pilot Standard's secure video room. Pick the path that fits your situation.
Option 1
Browse the directory
See every verified CFI currently listed in the public marketplace. Filter by certificate level, specialty topic, hourly rate, and this-week availability. Pick a CFI yourself, read their bio, and book directly against their published availability.
Best when you know what you're looking for or want to compare instructors.
Option 2
Find me a CFI now
Pick a block length, choose a date and time, and post a quick request. Every verified CFI who has opted into broadcast emails receives it instantly — first to accept becomes your instructor. Pay up front; if no one accepts before your scheduled time you are fully refunded. Both of you get a confirmation email when a CFI accepts.
Best when you need help soon and don't care which qualified CFI takes it.
Verified CFIs only. Sessions are billed through Stripe Connect with a 15% platform fee deducted before payout. Cancellation policy and refund timing are explained on the booking page before checkout.
