Pilot Flight Instruction is an online community that provides an easy way for our members to meet each other. CFIs and students can create profiles using a combination of photos and written profiles. Our communications technology allows members to filter profile listings and communicate with each other. To facilitate this process, we ask our members to disclose personal information. None of the information posted by Pilot Flight Instruction members can be used by the public (visitors or other members) to identify specific individuals, except employees of Pilot Flight Instruction whose job responsibilities require such access (for example billing and customer service).
Pilot Flight Instruction is a membership service. We collect personal information only from those who choose to join. Visitors may browse the site, search member profiles and view profiles without entering any personal information.
