Completed my CFI at Midwest Corporate Air and I would 100% recommend this flight school to anyone looking for an accelerated course. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. They really help you succeed and set you up for success. The owners Steve and Joti will take great care of you and make sure you have everything you need! It moves fast, but you feel well prepared for your checkride. The Ground instructor Fabio is great and my flight instructor Lucas Phillips was awesome!

Just finished the Accelerated Multi-Engine Commercial program here; Fantastic program and fantastic school; Instructors are all incredibly helpful and knowledgable and there's a ton of them around that you can ask any questions to; I had the pleasure of getting to fly with RJ, Chris S. and Rumeisa and I couldn't have hoped for better instructors, they got me setup so quickly and were so pleasant the whole time. Ground was a little heavy on the material but I had an amazing study group and we were at the school punching it out every day, plus the ground classes go over most of the content very solidly (If Lucas is teaching it, I'd make an extra effort to go, he was very good) and I was also always asking or chatting with Andrew (Rep 808 yessah)Anyways, they have pretty solid housing accommodations for cheap and you can get a vehicle as well.Highly recommend this school, I was there for a total of 9 days and I saw probably 7 people get certified for various things, including myself

I had a great experience at Midwest Corporate Air while completing my CFI training. Everyone was extremely welcoming and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Steve B. and Jotie were especially great to work with — they were both incredibly nice, helpful, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to further their flight training, especially for their CFI.

The best flight school experience I’ve ever had!I completed my CFI training at MCA, and I can confidently say it was the best flight training experience I’ve had throughout my aviation journey.Both the ground school and flight training were absolutely outstanding. The quality of instruction, professionalism, and overall learning environment exceeded my expectations.What impressed me the most was MCA’s incredible flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency. The school operates with a level of speed and adaptability that I have never experienced at any other flight school. They truly understand the importance of each student’s time and progress, while maintaining a high standard of training.Having trained at multiple flight schools throughout my aviation career, I can honestly say that MCA stands out above the rest.I couldn’t have asked for a better experience earning my CFI certificate. Highly recommend MCA to anyone looking for exceptional flight training!

More than four in five of our students fly in.

Pilots from 48 states have trained here since we started counting, and fewer than one in five of them lives in Ohio. So we built the rest of it: housing in town from $95 a night, thirty courtesy cars, and examiners on the field so nobody burns a week of travel waiting for a checkride date.

Comment on Aeronautical Decision Making
The CFI applicants are set up for absolute success if they watch all of MCA's videos.
Comment on FOI Communication Model
I've been struggling with this concept for a while; it's all clear now.
