What's the difference between a CFI, CFII, and MEI?

A CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) can teach private and commercial pilot certificates in airplanes. A CFII (Certified Flight Instructor — Instrument) adds the instrument-rating instruction privilege. An MEI (Multi-Engine Instructor) adds multi-engine instruction. AviatorDB lists all three under the Flight Instructors category; click any instructor's name to see their specific ratings.

Can I verify a flight instructor's certificate directly with the FAA?

Yes. The FAA's official airmen inquiry tool at airmen.faa.gov is the primary source. AviatorDB pulls from the same registry monthly to give you faster searchable access; for official certificate verification (employment, insurance, schools), use the FAA tool as your final reference.
