Hey all,
so I have begun my CFI training and I adapted quite quickly to flying and doing the maneuvers in the air without much issue but my landings have been abysmal. Today I was sideloading the right side and had too much right rudder then this afternoon the opposite and too much left. I...
I’ve been out out the loop for a decade or two while raising two kids and I’m now trying to figure out the quickest path to right seat of a regional jet. I’m a commercial/multi/instrument with 475 hours TT and who is just starting to build my proficiency back up. I’d assumed the path was for...

If a person has a CFI and subsequently is qualified as a Part 135 instructor for his company in a multi-engine aircraft, can that training program and company qualification be used to add MEI to the certificate?
I'm just getting started out with my PPL. Commercial licensing is a long way off but I think this path is for me...at least I really want it to be. Anyway I am curious about the likelihood of getting hired with low hours and no interest in being a CFI because:
1) I hate teaching and am not good...
Hey everyone, first post here. I'm training for CFI and am fascinated by how different people learn. I thought it could be a neat thread if people posted some of the best 'visual aids' that have helped you understand a particular aspect of flying. For example, a link to a YouTube video or image...
So I learned painfully today that I need to obtain some lesson plans for teaching recreational, private, commercial, and add-on CFIs that adhere much more tightly to the ACS and PTS topics. (My lesson plans based on how to actually teach the student will not cut it.)
So what purchasable sets of...
I develop product prototypes using small development circuit boards. I'm super psyched to get my pilot's license, but want to keep my costs low. I wonder if there would ever be an opportunity to trade CFI hours for in-kind hours developing some avionics product idea said CFI has. Does this...
Hello everyone,
I am a new CFI in the Northeast Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, and West Tennessee area. I will be traveling to meet the need in these areas. I know there is a need and want for aviation training and knowledge. I am trying to keep GA growing and train the next generation as well...
Hello All!
Just wanted to introduce myself here on the forum. I am a 23 year old who is just excited to have stumbled across this awesome wealth of information. I currently live a little west of Fort Worth, TX with my wife and in-laws during the pandemic. It is amazing watching and hearing the...
I was certified as a CFI, II on 20 August 2019. My last Biennial flight review was May 2018. Am I "due" for a biennial May 2020?
Alternatively has the FAA relaxed Biennial flight reviews due to covid19?
Can't seem to find a way to get one while social distancing.

2. when is it too much using of FAR in a check ride ?

After thinking about it for years, I started my pilot training a month ago. I picked a private CFI who had access to couple of Cessna's. I was referred to him through a distant friend. He seemed very busy with his schedule but he assured to accommodate me for two times a week. We flew two...
