Certified flight instructor (CFI)

Instrument flight instructor (CFII)
Preparation for instrument-instruction responsibilities. Confirm the required existing instructor qualification and whether simulator work is part of the course.

Training in multiengine aircraft. Confirm whether the course is an initial rating, an add-on or a transition, and which aircraft will be available.
Multi-engine instructor (MEI)
Preparation to teach in multiengine aircraft. Ask about entry qualifications, aircraft availability and the ground and flight preparation included.
Airline transport pilot (ATP)
Advanced preparation for pilots pursuing an airline transport qualification. Establish entry experience, aircraft category and the exact course scope before comparing packages.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
The published progression through additional certificates and ratings is relevant to students planning more than an initial private certificate. Compare each stage separately: required prerequisites, aircraft charges, ground instruction and progress checks can materially affect the total plan. The published aircraft models make equipment comparisons easier; ask which aircraft is assigned to your course and what backup is available. Confirm the campus before relying on a school-wide program or fleet description.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
The school-and-location searches for Horizon Flight Center, LLC in Chesapeake did not establish usable independent student feedback in the accessible results reviewed. BestAviation has no reviews; the local forum mainly discusses other named Chesapeake-area providers rather than clearly attributable Horizon student experiences. This is a limit of the evidence found, not a finding about training quality or a claim that reviews do not exist elsewhere. Request recent local student references, then compare their actual lesson frequency, instructor continuity, final costs and checkride preparation with the written course proposal.
