Pre-takeoff checklist
Wow, I cannot believe it. I ran into the assistant chief flight instructor yesterday and he asked me if I could come in this Friday for my CFI Initial Prog Check.
The Prog Check is also known as the "Stage Check" and is the final school checkout flight before you are sent to the FSDO for the checkride.
I've been waiting since Wednesday to know when the Prog Check would be scheduled. I've been training for 10 months to get to this point.
Now that I'm here, I don't feel ready!
Isn't that weird?
I do not think I can review all the material in four days for my 5-hour oral exam. It would be like cramming hard for a final exam. And, when I was in college, cramming for a final exam often did little good and sometimes it made things worse.
I tell you, ever since I completed training last Wednesday, the flight school has treated me much better. It's almost like I won initiation into the fraternity, and folks seem a lot more friendly to me over there.
But, my confidence level in being able to pass the oral exam Friday sure isn't there right now.
How did you prepare for a Prog Check? Right now, I just want to go on a four-day vacation somewhere, come back, and see what happens Friday.
