Before you book: what your broker can show the underwriter
- Aircraft-specific syllabus. The initial or recurrent course for your aircraft: the ground subjects, the flight hours and the written test.
- Instructor credentials. Our instructors are FAA-certificated CFIIs working under 14 CFR Part 61. See who they are, with their hours and aircraft.
Tell us the aircraft and your broker's email, and we send both, to you or straight to your broker. The note to send your broker is here.
Before the first flight: what we need from you and your broker
- Pilot Enrollment form. It comes with Paul's Flight Training Transmittal, which confirms the instructor, date, airport, tuition and how to pay. Return the form by email or fax before training.
- Certificate of insurance (COI). Your broker adds Access and your instructor to the aircraft's policy for the training period. The COI must show Access Flight Training Services LLC as an additional insured, with a waiver of subrogation.
See each step from request to first flight.
After training: what you leave with
- Completion certificate. The course ends with a test on your aircraft, the FARs and instrument procedures. The certificate comes by email, or by mail if you ask, and can go straight to your broker.
- Logbook endorsements. Your instructor signs the endorsements for what you completed. A course can include a flight review, an instrument proficiency check and the high altitude endorsement, when you meet their standards.

At your next renewal
Keep a copy of the completion certificate with your policy papers. When the policy renews, your broker can send it with your pilot history, and you can tell us the renewal date so the next recurrent course lands before it. How often recurrent training is required.
Frequently asked questions
What does my underwriter need to see before in-aircraft training?
Your broker will tell you exactly. Access can send the aircraft-specific syllabus and the instructor's credentials, to you or straight to your broker. Tell us the aircraft and the broker's email.
What proof of training do I get?
A completion certificate after the aircraft-specific written test, by email or by mail if you ask, and the logbook endorsements your instructor signs for what you completed.
Can the completion certificate go straight to my broker?
Yes. Tell us the broker's email and the certificate goes there too.
Does a completion certificate mean my insurer accepts the course?
No. Each underwriter decides whether a course satisfies its policy, for each pilot and aircraft. Ask your broker to confirm it by email before you book.
