All about Cessna’s Computer-Based Instruction

CBI features integration of ground and flight training. Everything you do in the air is demonstrated for you on video—and the convenient online format means you can complete your lessons wherever and whenever is convenient for you. Study at home, on the road, at work… wherever you have access to a computer or tablet, your flying lessons can be there too.

The CPI is the only integrated flight training program in existence. It was designed in conjunction with the experts at Cessna and features highly-qualified and experienced professional presentations.

Here’s how CBI works:

Ground school lessons help you learn everything you need to know about preparing for a flight.

Fun, interactive quizzes to help you retain the knowledge you gain.

Video flight previews prepare you for what to expect in the plane—before you even get in the cockpit.

  • Online access to pilot handbooks and aviation manuals valued at over $800.00
