Hamilton Pilot Training System for Certified Flight Instructors (CFI & CFIS)

Hamilton Pilot Training System for Certified Flight Instructors (CFI & CFIS)

The Hamilton Pilot Training System (HPTS) is for Sport Pilot Certified Flight Instructors (CFI & CFIS) to teach Sport Pilot and Sport Pilot Instructor CFIS applicants to learn to fly light sport aircraft including fixed-wing aircraft (airplanes), weight-shift aircraft (trikes), and powered parachutes.

The training system, developed by Sport Pilot industry leader, Paul Hamilton, CFI, DPE, SPE, SPIE, uses a building block approach that optimizes training time in becoming a safe and confident pilot, while balancing the enthusiasm and passion for flight.

Sport Pilot Certified Flight Instructors use the HPTS to instruct Sport Pilot and Sport Pilot Certified Flight Instructor applicants. The system optimizes your time, as well as your student's time. It offers you a step-by-step process to train applicants in all of the tasks, aeronautical knowledge, and skills necessary for them to become a Sport Pilot or Sport Pilot Certified Flight Instructor.

It outlines student homework which the Instructor assigns and reviews. A Training Task Log is used by the Instructor to record the student's progress in flight and ground tasks.

A unique feature of the HFTS are the DVD training modules, specific to each type of aircraft, each with companion ground school workbooks. The DVD training modules produced by Paul Hamilton and Adventure Productions are each 30 to 90 minutes in length. The DVD training modules enhance and accelerate student learning while creating a higher level of enjoyment and engagement.
