There are thousands of flight instructors with no good way to find students.

They earned their certificate at a Part 141 school, didn't get hired on by that school, and now have a rating, hours to build, and no clear path to the students who are out there looking for them. Every week the same question shows up on Reddit: how do independent CFIs actually find students? Nobody has a good answer. The honest one, right now, is a Facebook group and word of mouth.

Meanwhile the students are looking too. They post in those same groups asking if anyone instructs near them. Both sides are searching. They just can't find each other.

FindMyCFI fixes that with a map.

Instructors list where they're based. Students browse the airports near them and see who's actually there. No group to join, no thread to dig through, no asking around. Just the map, the place, and the people who fly there.

For instructors

Whether you instruct independently under Part 61 or teach at a flight school, you belong on the map. List your profile, set what you offer, and get found by the students near your home field. It's free while we build out our first markets.

02

For students

Search your home airport, see which instructors are based there, and message them directly.

A note from the founder

"I'm a CFI based in Texas. I built FindMyCFI because the way we all find each other right now is broken, and this map fixes it."
