An underpaid, overworked certified flight instructor cheats death while attempting to teach a cast of incompetent student pilots to fly at a skeezy South Florida flight school; all in the quest to build flight time so he can get a “real job” at an airline. The planes break, the regs break, metal gets bent, students are lost at sea, and a Top Gun wannabe student, who has 400 hours of flight instruction, still hasn’t made his first solo flight.

CFI!: The Book is an over-the-top satirical aviation comedy that’s loosely based on real-world experiences of flight instruction, but if the FAA asks, this is all strictly fictional.

As a student pilot at a decent school, I can't relate. But, I can see how this "fiction" book could very true.

This was quite the enjoyable read. I like to imagine the characters as people that I work with. I'm certainly looking into more stories by this author.

It was great. I, as a CFI too, can assert that these kind of things happen usually.

Hilarious and amazing story.

Excellent book, I'm very skeptical on purchasing books and they let me down, but not this one. From start to finish I enjoyed every moment of it and I highly recommend this to people in the industry.

Finished in 3 days I was hooked right away!!

Sorry, but this wasn’t a favorite. The stories were entertaining (if not a bit exaggerated), but the narration was not good. My husband is a pilot and aviation buff and after giving in an hour into it to give it chance, he asked me to find something else. Money wasted.

Didn’t even finish it. Narration was annoying

This book was well written, and well read. Great job keeping it interesting for pilots but still basic enough for non-aviators. I laughed out loud at every chapter!

Hilarious and enjoyable
