PIE?

Just got a new temporary that I'm rather proud of. ATP with E170/190 types.

Congratulations! Are you going to stay and do your add ons or are you going home?

Nice. They are good people. Congratulations. Come down the hall and say hi some time.

V1, Cams, or Clearwater?

Congratulations! The oral is definitely the hardest part. Scenario based is the way everything going these days. The flight should be similar. Rather than straight engine failures expect an "oh look, your right engine is on fire" or "the cockpit is filling with smoke, what are you going to...

Like I said, be confident and be thorough. It is just one of those things you have to get through. Be a teacher and don't let him shake you in the plane.

Good luck! Who is it with? E.S.? R.T.? Remember, you are there to teach and relate ideas. Knowing the info is not enough. The examiners will mess with you in the plane. You have your endorsement so the instructors feel you are ready so be confident in that. Don't be timid!

Yep, know it well (too well). Best parts about CFI school are spins and leaving.

You in jax? If you would have been there last week you would have gotten to go for a ride in a crj 700

Busted in the oral on the first try, passed on the second. I know this is not a good excuse but my entire CFI flight training was under 4 hours of flight time (besides spins). My entire CFI training experience (flight and ground) from barely knowing what FOI even meant to passing was over a...

The only real FOI things I use in the day to day are based on primacy and lack of common experience in my approach to instructing. As far as primacy goes, if I don't know something I say I don't and figure it out from there. Making up an answer or telling something them wrong will stick with...

3 hours, wow. I thought I got off easy at 5.5. DPEs like to mess with you on the flight portion and get you flustered. Just be ready for it and follow your checklists!

Got my private and instrument on the same day. Got my complex/multi two weeks after. Got my commercial multi about a month after that. Got my MEI 11 days after that. Got my CFII about 5 days after that. Then got my Commercial single and my CFI single on the same day, about 4 days after...

I did my private and instrument combined. It was not easy but doable. We did the whole "supervised" PIC thing to meet the requirements.

Did a lot of training right over this beach.

Most of the time the "frequencies" tab for the airport will have a center frequency/CD frequency/FSS frequency without having to go into the A/FD.

I just finished their "fast track" program and am set to start instructing for them in about a month. They have been around for a while and have pretty good resources. I can't complain about my experience with them except that it has been very stressful but that is the nature of the beast with...

Ask away.

I have just over 220 actual and 50 hours in an FTD.
