I'm kind of rushing the FII stuff because I am very instrument proficient. I fly when ever clouds are low, there is rain, and low visibility. I just love it. What I have done so far is use Sporty's instrument training and focusing on the stuff for review and how they taught it. Now I am using a...

It does not take away any legal responsibility especially as a flight instructor. However, it does provide protection from personal assets and only assets involved within the LLC (flight instructing purposes) can be easily sued. It is possible to sue me directly as the instructor, but that is...

I got some legal advise on this. The LLC only provide legal protection if you keep it completely separate from your personal stuff and treat it as if it was a partnership. It also enables me to take more deductions and makes it fairly easier with online systems for book keeping. From what I have...

I am going for choice A and choice B as well but as a contract instructor. Right now, I do not have much in assets aside from the plane and website stuff. I paid $10,000 into the plane, and I am a part owner. My long term goal is to be an entrepreneur, and I figured this would be a great way...

I plan on that. Who should I get it with? I am also setting up an LLC to keep it all separated and for tax implications and liability.

I took both at a different time. There is the FOI (fundamentals of instructing) and the FIA (flight instructor airplane). I crammed studied last summer before school. I took one, then I crammed the next one, then took the other. Also, not a dumb question. I did it this way because I wasn't able...

I am sorry to hear about the past 15 years. The FII test is "Flight Instructor Instrument—Airplane" written test. It has 50 questions limited in 2 hours and 30 minutes. It is almost identical to the instrument test. I initially wrote my own, but after using them in practice, I went with...

Thanks! You should go for it as long as you are interested in teaching. The more practice I get instructing, the more and more I love it. I woke up at 5:45 AM. The checkride began at 7:15 AM. We had about 4 bathroom breaks and one short lunch break. We flew in the same day. Thanks! I am...

Last week I had my CFI initial checkride. After a 9 hour oral, and teaching about 20 different lesson, we went and flew for 2 hours. After a long vigorous and exhausting day, I got to shake the inspector’s hand. I am now a brand new CFI, and I am so excited about it!!! I took my checkride in a...

Here is a new video I just posted:

Will do! I have two more coming!

Awesome!!

That is true, but my grandparents live less than 5 minutes from 3MY.

Thank you! I fly this Mooney all the time (190 hours), so I know the feel for how it starts. At Oshkosh, they had us turn off the fuel, so the fuel lines were empty. The standard checklist says fuel pump 3 seconds, but that was not enough to build up the pressure. This is why when I do get to...

So last week I got back from an 8 day trip as Oshkosh. While I was there I got two GoPros, so I recorded my return trip. Here is the video I made: I plan on making more, and as soon as I get to take my CFI checkride, I want to make instruction videos and make videos talking about aviation to...

Okay. This might take awhile. How is this one? Should I reduce the info on it? If so, how? A week? Geez.. I will practice teaching on some friends (some pilots - some not)

Did you do 3x5 cards for every topic? I planned out what cards I would need and found I would need a ton of notecards. What format did you use on your notecards? Also, I called the FSDO office. They transferred me to someone, but I had to leave a message. It has been 2 days and no reply. My...

Uh I don't know "Greg" is, but I heard of P1D. I actually flew with a friend who flies for the Oregon Duck coaches. We got to fly from Eugene, Oregon to Colorado Springs and back. It was totally worth it. I'm nervous about it because it is so different. That is true about DPEs. The one I always...

You are right. Basically, my plane was down for 12 months. About 8 months ago, I studied up and took the FOI and FIA 7 months ago. I was ready for oral and did ground instruction practice and figured 1-2 weeks of flying and I would be ready for checkride 6 months ago. Plane was delayed further...

I couldn't find a form at all. I will give them a call Monday morning. They make it so complicated I guess. This is bad... I really need to have this done before August. I am taking Calc 2 this fall, and I haven't done Calc 1 in 2 years, so I need 15 days to catch up on it. Guess I will just...
