ASEL, ATP..what?


Our instructors work hard to receive and maintain specific ratings to ensure that you enjoy the best possible experience in your training.

Below is a simple glossary of the ratings, terms, etc, that you see listed on the left thorugh our instructor directory.  Some of them you will also be working towards.

If you are an instructor that has changed ratings or status, please contract the WWW master at HERE.

CFI:  A person who holds a flight instructor certificate is authorized to give training and endorsements required for, and relating to:

  • A student, private, commercial or other pilot certificate.
  • a flight instructor certificate.
  • a ground instructor certificate
  • a flight review, endorsement (BFR), or recency of experience requirement
  • a practical test or a knowledge test (written examination).

CFII: Same privilages as a CFI rating, but also able to grant an instrument rating certificate to a student.

AGI:  The Advanced Ground Instructor rating allows the holder to give the ground instruction required for any certificate or rating issued under Part 61, to give the ground training for any flight review, and to approve a student to take the written knowledge test for any certificate or rating issued under Part 61.  Squadron2 is a Part 61 training facility.

ASEL:  Airplane, Single Engine, Land, defines that the pilot holds a license for an airplane that has a single engine and only lands on land (not a seaplane). It is the most common license sought by private pilots.  Other types of licenses for the GA pilot would be AMEL (multi) and ASES (sea landing).

ATP(class):  The ATP is the highest grade of pilot certificate that the FAA can bestow. You'll need the ATP in order to act as the pilot-in-command of a scheduled airliner.  An ATP-B767 means you hold a type rating as an ATP pilot, to fly a Boeing 767.

IGI:  The Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI) rating allows the holder to give the ground instruction required for the addition of an instrument rating to a pilot certificate; the holder may also approve a student's taking of the written knowledge test for the instrument rating, and can give the ground training required for an instrument proficiency check.

MEI:  This is required to teach in an airplane with more than one engine.

PHD/MA:  Not flight related, but still the sign that this is someone you should know, just in case.

A&P:  According to the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), A&P Mechanics, commonly called aviation mechanics, are "Maintenance Airmen." They hold combined ratings of Airframe (A) and Powerplant (P) mechanic and are certified (licensed) by the Federal Aviation Agency. The A&P Mechanic services, repairs, and overhauls aircraft and aircraft engines to insure airworthiness.
