Congratulations! I hope it's contagious - my flight portion might happen this afternoon depending on how my Inspector feels about the commute.

No greater power derives from any practical test than your initial CFI. Congratulations!

~~~~~~~ Right, that's what I've been thinking and frankly it feels a little daunting .... But, well, it's all a continuous learning curve

Huge congrats. I hope to do that someday.
Why on your map are you avoiding that nice rectangular State north of New Mexico? Come on up to the 40th parallel. We don't bite!

If you ever stop learning, get concerned.
Congrats! The CFI ride was the most difficult ride I've taken.

Pre-Flight
Thats great, I am in the process of finishing up my CFI. If you don't mind, can you post a summary of the ride?
Jeanie
Pattern Altitude
Quick summary:
Teaching: pre flight, start up and taxi, short field take off , straight/level, climbing turns, power on stall w/ secondary stall, discussion of spins and spin recovery in event of poorly executed stalls, lazy eights which I demo'd and then he flew making mistakes and I coached him thru it, how to do a simulated emergency approach to landing, S turns across a road, 8s on pylons, the return to the traffic pattern and setting up for short field landing followed by taxi back w/ soft field take off and then landing. discussion of various types of emergencies - door opening, landing gear failure, low voltage/alternator failure
think that's it - on the last landing which was the soft field landing the examiner said "Jean, there's a coyote on the runway" I said "Good one, John." he said, NO REALLY, look.... and sure enough about 2/3 down the rwy there one stood looking at us and then walking slowly to the edge. That was fun... I thought he was kidding because of some joking about coyotes on runways at a safety meeting presentation last year. I have been told that the coyote was an auspicious event.
