Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor in Palatine, IL
Where to start, and what it takes to get there? Anyone who has never flown before will start out as a Student Pilot working towards becoming a Private Pilot Certificate holder. You will need to find a Flight School to begin your training. There are several options out there, and choosing the right one for you is a discussion for another time.
Once you complete your Private Pilot Training and you are ready, you will take a Private Pilot Practical Exam. Practical Exams are the same in regards to how the exam is conducted.
Great! You’re Now a Private Pilot…..What’s Next?
Once you become a Private Pilot Certificate holder, your flight training can go one of three ways. One, you can stop training and remain a Private Pilot. Several people in the General Aviation sector take this route. These are likely the people who are fortunate enough to own their own aircraft and all they want is to be able to legally fly.
They have no ambitions of flying for a living and are content simply being a ‘pilot’. However, most of us are doing this because this is what we want to do for a living. This brings us to the other two options in our flight training career. The most common step is to begin your instrument training.
This is where things get ‘serious’. In order to be a Private Pilot Certificate holder with an Instrument Rating, you are going to dedicate yourself to in-depth ground training, simulator training and flight training with a view limiting device.
At this point in your flight training, you are going to learn how to safely fly the aircraft with no outside references by solely relying on your instruments inside the cockpit. This stage of training is what I like to call, the make or break stage. If you complete this invaluable training, you can walk proud because everyone in aviation will know that you are serious about becoming a career pilot.

Aviation Training Facts for Palatine, IL
It is possible for the front edge of the right aileron to get jammed against the wing of a Cirrus SR20 prototype when the wing and the aileron are deflected down toward the aircraft wing and it is flexed upward to its maximum length. The tolerance cavity between the wing and the aileron are critical factors relative to the potential for jamming.
So keep the aircraft power up and push down on the yoke with all of your weight and you should be able to maintain relative control of the aircraft.
