Build your student roster on autopilot

As a flight instructor, your time is best spent in the airplane, not chasing down your next student.

ForeFlight’s CFI Marketplace gives instructors a smarter way to market themselves and grow their student pipeline. Instead of relying solely on word of mouth and waiting for referrals, your profile helps connect you with local pilots and students looking for your specific expertise.

FAQs

DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO LIST MYSELF ON THE CFI MARKETPLACE?

No. Listing is free. You need an active ForeFlight subscription to create a profile.

WHEN WILL STUDENTS BE ABLE TO FIND ME?

Student search opens by region as enough instructors join, starting with the highest-density training areas. You can claim your profile now from anywhere, and it will become searchable once your region meets the threshold.

WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO SET UP A PROFILE?

To publish a profile, you need a display name, certificate number, email, location, plus at least one served airport, certificate, designation, and instructor rating. A photo, rates, and a short bio are optional, but recommended to make your profile more complete and help students contact you.

HOW DO STUDENTS CONTACT ME?

Students send a lesson request with their name, email, and an optional message. ForeFlight delivers the request to you by email. Students do not see your contact information, including your certificate number, email, phone number, or city or state.
