The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
As I move onward through the process of gaining my CFI credentials, I've noticed we don't have a specific spot for us PoA minions to discuss the various topics that pertain to being or becoming a flight instructor.
We do have "Flight Training", but that's a bit broad for what I am thinking of.
I'd like to see a "CFI Lounge" (or other quality/creative name) forum for us to discuss topics like
how to teach XXX topic to the student
what you should do to be a really good instructor
I'm in a rut teaching this lump of clay in the left seat.... how do I get through to him
CFI stories, "There I was, in the RH seat of a Cherokee and the student...."
I just got my credentials, what now?
Do I go with a local or regional school or remain independent
What do I need to know about the business aspects of being a CFI (aka income, taxes, expenses, etc)
and more.
The objective is bring in some organization so topics like this and similar are grouped into a sub forum that makes sense, versus scattered through Flight Following, Flight Training, Hangar Talk, etc.
