Pre-takeoff checklist
Hello everyone, first post
I'm a slightly unusual CFI candidate, with 2000 hours ME/Turbine, after working part 135 for several years i moved to another industry and manage 50 hours a year in an SR22. Mostly IFR XC from NYC around the North East & Mid Atlantic.
I've always wanted to instruct, and my day job involves lots of 1:1 and 1: many presentations. My plan is to instruct weekends, evenings and the occasional weekday. There appears to be demand for CFI's in the NY Metro region.
I'm pretty comfortable with the G1000 equipped 172 CFII/CFI training will be in, and have a decent grasp on Aerodynamics, Wx et al.
~My question to CFI/CFII's.. as i'm trying to choose a school to train at; how many hours did you fly for, and how many (paid) hours did you spend with an Instructor to get the ratings. i've been advised to take the CFII as an initial (the world i fly in anyway) and then add on CFI & MEI. I know the requirements about requiring a CFI-A Class rating to exercise the privileges of the CFII...
Any experiences or advice much appreciated.
