just took the CFI checkride yesterday. The FSDO called and canceled on me friday afternoon, saying they had conflict with the day i was cheduled and they sent me to a DE.
The oral was almost all FOI. He sat there with the PTS and went through the first section page by page. He Asked abuot professionalism, critique(ground rules and elements of), and evaluation alot. We briefly touched on almost all areas of the FOI. covered the FOI for about an hour and a half.
The next hour was spent on collision avoidance, visual illusions, and I taught him chandelle's. He asked me to show him how aircrafts fly (ie. lift). How to creat more lift wihtout increasing speed or attitude of airplane (flaps). Taught him the left turning tendencies, and he asked me a few V-speeds for the arrow and that was the oral.
I felt i was over prepared for the oral, since i was expecting to go with the FAA inspector. He liked how i was organized (I had a 3 inch binder that was oragnized in 12 sections starting with CFI responsibilites and covered all the areas of operation).
The flight was a non-event. It was 1.7 total between the 2 airplanes (172 and PA-28). oral was abuot 2.5 to 3. Started at 8am finished by 1pm. All in all a good experience. time to go study for the CFII and turn my resume in to the Chief flught instructor.
