cfi

Hey everyone, first post here. I'm training for CFI and am fascinated by how different people learn. I thought it could be a neat thread if people posted some of the best 'visual aids' that have helped you understand a particular aspect of flying. For example, a link to a YouTube video or image...

So I learned painfully today that I need to obtain some lesson plans for teaching recreational, private, commercial, and add-on CFIs that adhere much more tightly to the ACS and PTS topics. (My lesson plans based on how to actually teach the student will not cut it.) So what purchasable sets of...

I develop product prototypes using small development circuit boards. I'm super psyched to get my pilot's license, but want to keep my costs low. I wonder if there would ever be an opportunity to trade CFI hours for in-kind hours developing some avionics product idea said CFI has. Does this...

Hello everyone, I am a new CFI in the Northeast Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, and West Tennessee area. I will be traveling to meet the need in these areas. I know there is a need and want for aviation training and knowledge. I am trying to keep GA growing and train the next generation as well...

Hello All! Just wanted to introduce myself here on the forum. I am a 23 year old who is just excited to have stumbled across this awesome wealth of information. I currently live a little west of Fort Worth, TX with my wife and in-laws during the pandemic. It is amazing watching and hearing the...

I was certified as a CFI, II on 20 August 2019. My last Biennial flight review was May 2018. Am I "due" for a biennial May 2020? Alternatively has the FAA relaxed Biennial flight reviews due to covid19? Can't seem to find a way to get one while social distancing.

Single 36 yr old male looking for a relationship with older, experienced CFI. I am a student pilot with about 5 hours in a 172 and 10 in a PA 38. Closing a purchase this week on a Grumman trainer at DXR and am looking for a CFI to spend some quality time with. Specifically, per insurance, one...

If you know someone considering flight training, here's an article that will likely be very helpful to them. Please pass it along: https://groundschool.com/articles/choosing-your-flight-instructor

Asking for a friend. Can please recommend a good CFI north of Atlanta? preferably Lawrenceville airport. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a CFI to instruct me towards the PPL in a RV-9A that I'm a 50% owner of. Let me know if you'd be interested or know someone who would. Available anytime besides weekdays 9-4. Thanks.

hi guys , im currently studying for my check ride and I couldn't get a straight answer from my instructor . 1. is it legal to use FAR/AIM to answer the examiner questions ? 2. when is it too much using of FAR in a check ride ? 3. if its legal to use FAR/AIM on an exam , can it be used on a...

After thinking about it for years, I started my pilot training a month ago. I picked a private CFI who had access to couple of Cessna's. I was referred to him through a distant friend. He seemed very busy with his schedule but he assured to accommodate me for two times a week. We flew two...

I am currently studying for the FOI written using study software and my plan was to get the writtens out of the way and then continue with a local CFI program. However as you all know most programs are accelerated and designed for fast-tracking a CFI certificate. I have no problem with any of...

Hello, Please let me know if you are a CFI or you know a CFI who is interest in joining flight school in south east side of Atlanta. Thanks.

Just wanted to see if you had a similar experience finding a CFI. In October I finally decided to take up flight lessons towards my PPL. I live in a mid sized town of about 100,000 people in Texas. I figured it shouldn't be too hard to find a CFI. Boy was I wrong. Like most would, I tried...

I just released my second book, "CFI! The Book," a comical take on what its like to be a flight instructor. If you like aviation and you like to laugh, pick up a copy on Amazon. An underpaid, overworked Certified Flight Instructor cheats death while attempting to teach a cast of incompetent...

Hey all! I'm currently working on my CFI. My instructor has been great in prepping me with my lesson plans and covering the "what if" questions the examiner could ask. I don't want to leave no stone unturned and wanted to ask you guys how you prepped and made/organized your lesson plans. If...

Edit 2/13/18 - It took 25 hours for me to solo and now that I'm at this point I realized the hours don't mean anything. I didn't understand this starting out. Now that I am at this point it makes a lot more sense. Also I pay $150/Hobbs Hour for a 172, and $50/CFI Hour Roughly I have spent...
