Most Part 61 schools spread your IFR over six months because that’s how their economics work. We don’t. CRAFT runs accelerated programs where your instructor is yours, the airplane is reserved, the sim time is built in, and the checkride is booked. You finish on schedule and on budget.
Punch through the clouds. Sim mornings, airplane afternoons — up to 50% of required instrument time logged in the Redbird AATD. Modern G1000 panel, dedicated CFII, checkride on day seven.
You have the hours, you need the certificate. Five days of polish on chandelles, lazy 8s, and eights on pylons in the DA40NG, then the practical test on day six. Built for pilots already at or near 250 hours.
Take it to the next level in our Diamond DA42-VI — Jet-A twin, FADEC, G1000 glass cockpit. Pick up the Commercial Multi Add-On rating you need, or finish off your ATP with a checkride in our DA42-VI. Train three days, checkride on day four.
Stop paying to fly. Start getting paid to fly. The CFI is the rating that flips the time-build math. 50+ hours of FOI/FIA classroom plus right-seat work in the DA40NG. Bundle with CFI-I and add ~4 days to walk out with both.
The rating that lets you train Instrument Rating candidates, endorse them for the practical, and conduct IPCs. Three focused days in the FADEC DA40 NG with G1000 glass cockpit and GFC700 autopilot. Checkride on day four.
The Multi-Engine Instructor add-on for pilots who already hold a CFI and want to teach in the twin. Three days training in the DA42-VI NG with checkride on day four. Hold a CFII? Multi-instrument instructor privileges come with it automatically.
The biggest reason "accelerated" stops being accelerated isn't instruction — it's checkrides. At CRAFT, DPE availability is built into how every program is planned. Exact timing varies, but checkrides are typically scheduled in weeks, not months.
"Train. Test. Finish."
Accelerated training isn't about rushing. It's about removing the biggest bottleneck in the system.
Quick form. A CFI follows up within an hour during business days.
