But that's a good point as I probably will fly it less oncecI start flying with students in school planes

About 175

If the FAA considers the ability to log time as compensation then I would also need 100 hour inspections.

No snarkiness taken. I don't recall this instance coming up in training and I am not seeing it in the PTS. Not arguing that it has to be there to be important information I should know. The regulations refer to "for hire" which doesn't fit my situation. In commercial training these types of...

Thank you

New CFI question. Can I give free discovery flights to family and friends in my plane? I wouldn't log the training time on my logbook so not for hire. No 100 hr inspection requirement. If I sign a logbook for them for the flight am I running afoul somewhere? If I am always the PIC (no one's...

When i started teaching 29 years ago i used to use a textbook that i eventually grew to despise and drop. The text wasn't horrible, it just didn't fit my teaching style and became too limiting. BUT... It really made a difference in the beginning because it gave me a structure and suggested a...

Thats because they don't get as winded when walking uphill :)

That's because they didn't have to walk uphill both ways in shoes made of cardboard.

Yes. I started doing that unprompted during my intial training for ppl and agree that's a good tool. The added bonus is that it would give them a sense of ownership. I could assign that in pieces that are germane to the lesson.

I am in a similar place, ie regular teaching job non aviation related. My friend who is also working on his Cfi is going to use Sporty’s as well. I will look more closely at that.

Thanks to all who are posting,very much appreciated!

Yes exactly... seems like too many options . The FITS is free but having no experience using it was wondering if there are pitfalls to it or maybe a better mousetrap. I will take a closer look at the other options. Thanks to all for those suggestions.

Thank you for the fars. I am wondering about a syllabus that would weave all of these requirements in a logical order and build in repetition with each lesson as well as scenario based learning...like the FITS does.

Thank you.

Newly minted CFI looking for thoughts on training syllabi. Has anyone used the FITS from the FAA? Or are there others you found more useful?. Eventually with experience I will no doubt develop my own. Need something that will keep me from missing content or unnecessarily prolonging the student’s...

Thanks to all! I found the culprit. Corrosion where the battery contactor connects to the starter relay. Cleaned up and working beautifully. This same cannection also supplies power to the main bus My annual is coming up and I plan on combing throughmy connections one by one

Thanks all. Looks like I need to carve out some more diagnostic time, I have some things to check

Hi all, I have a Grumman AA5 I replaced the battery contactor and starter relay 3 years ago and then in February of this year I starting having battery contactor/relay/solenoid issues so replaced it. All was fine and haven’t had a hiccup until this evening when the problem returned again. I...

And also more fun...but I need to get the tame versions down too.
