What is the suggestion for logging full motion sim time toward the ATP? I only use Myflightbook (no paper logbook), so I'm not sure how I should log the sim time. I have 1492 hrs so I need 8 more hours to my 1500. Do I log it only as sim time (I can't log it as total time)? When I generate an...

PPL, CPL (SE Add-On), CFI: Hated every lesson, lol. I really enjoyed my instrument training though and my instructor was awesome. For the most part I also enjoyed my Multi-Commercial. Needless to say, I'm glad my training days are somewhat behind me.

Freelance CFI/CFII. Our state is on the "lockdown" until Apr 6. Local FBO is closed. Private club I instruct at (different airport) is still open for business. Airport owner said it is up to the instructors if they want to continue flying or not and rentals are still allowed. He did postpone...

The CFI encompasses the same knowledge as the Private and Commercial. You now have the FOI involved which is where quite a few people get tripped up. FOI will be on the oral so it’s important to know this stuff well. Read through the Aviators Instructional Handbook and highlight the important...

I passed my CFI checkride yesterday, May 24. Bar none the most difficult ride I’ve had, and the most difficult to prepare for. Now I need to find students to put this certificate to work.... I’m in north central Ohio if anyone knows of an FBO looking for an instructor. I don’t post here...

If you understand the different entries and their method of getting in the hold, the rest is easy. Like others have mentioned draw it out. Not only the hold, but draw the fix and where your airplane is in relation to the fix. Once you have drawn it out enough you start to understand how it...

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I've been going back and forth which way to go tablet wise and I really need to make a decision. I don't have an external GPS yet so I'm pretty open right now. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 which would be too big in the 172, but I could make it work. However, if I go with...

Interesting thread. I absolutely loved my instrument training. Maybe it was the places we got to go. I did my training at FlightSafety and there were 2 of us that always flew. One student flew, the other sat the back seat and we went to a destination. Change seats and fly back. Some of the...

Hang in there. The only time I can fly is during the week and it has to be after work which has its own problems. #1: My instructor is not real thrilled that he has to be at the airport until 1930 2 days a week. #2: I'm an estimator for a construction company so my days are beyond busy and by...

Did you go right into your CFI after your commercial? I've been out of aviation for 16 years and now starting down the CFI road. My Flight Review and IPC are done and I was really rusty there so it took a couple flights. My goal is to have my CFI ticket by the middle of August, so roughly 15...

I'm looking forward to watching your journey unfold. I got my Commercial SEL/MEL and Instrument in 2001 at the fresh age of 21. 9/11 hit, economy tanked, I ran out of money and life got in the way. Here I am 16 years later as a 37 year old, completed my flight review, IPC, and training for my...

Great video. I did my training at FlightSafety and I miss flying around those parts. The best time of my life was training down there.
