Learning and Loving to Fly Learning and Loving to Fly

Sorry it's been so long! 

My journey to CFI-I was not without challenges but it is not an overly difficult checkride, in my opinion.  

One thing I forget to mention in this podcast is that if you are taking the written test for Instrument Airplane and plan to get your CFI-I within the next 2 years, take the Instrument Instructor written test at the same time.  They are virtually the same test!  Lesson plans are crucial and being in the right mindset is crucial because instrument flying has lots of details to pay attention to.  

Thanks for listening!

This episode covers what I believe to be the most difficult check ride thus far!  There is a lot to know and as a CFI, I now have tons of responsibility.  I started this journey in August of 2021 and am now helping others to start theirs!

I am a Commercial Pilot!

This podcast discusses three main areas of my commercial pilot journey:  getting the hours, learning the maneuvers/landings, and going through the check ride!

Lots to uncover! Hope you enjoy!

I PASSED! I didn't have much to accomplish on the 2nd go-round here but sometimes the 2nd chance gives you more butterflies than the 1st because you REALLY don't want to fail twice in a row.  This is just a quick episode talking about the flight, what I did in between the first and second check rides and what I plan to do next!

In this episode I talk about how my instrument check ride went.  (I FAILED!)

I talk about the oral portion (which I passed), the types of questions I was asked, what helped me to study, the pre-flight portion, the flight portion that I passed and where everything went wrong.

Part 2 will come as soon as my next check ride is scheduled and taken.

Instead of going week-to-week, I decided to talk through all of my instruction in one episode.  I talk how it started, what I learned along the way, what was difficult and frustrating, and tools that I found useful!
