FAA Airman Certification Standards: Flight Instructor for Airplane (FAA-S-ACS-25) Overview:

NEW!  Spiral Bound for easy, lay-flat, reference!

The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) is the guide for students, instructors, and FAA-designated examiners to know what applicants must know, do, and consider for their FAA Knowledge Exam (written test) and practical test (checkride) to earn their pilot certificate or rating. The goal of the airman certification process is to ensure the applicant possesses knowledge and skill consistent with the privileges of the certificate or rating being exercised, as well as the ability to manage the risks of flight in order to act as pilot in command.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Flight Instructor Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the commercial pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes FAA-S-8081-6DS Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards for Airplane Single-Engine Land and Sea and  FAA-S-8081-6DM Flight Instructor Practical Test Standards (PTS) for Airplane Multi-Engine Land and Sea for Airplane.

The ACS is the foundation of the transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification by the FAA. The ACS is part of the Safety Management System (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing.

Includes Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) and Flight Instructor Airplane (CFI) single-engine and multi-engine (CFI and MEI) tests.
