CFI oral

[kj6991]

oral was 3.5, flight was 1.5. if you know the stuff, there shouldn't be any sursrises. i didn't get ramped checked or drilled. if you know the stuff and can clearly explain it you will do just fine man. there should not be any mysteries if you have studied the information. good luck and let us know.

I just took my CFI checkride 12/15. Here's what I had to go through.
First, in western Washington the FAA is starting to do 50% of the CFI checkrides...I was told that I was the first to fall under this new guideline. The oral followed this order. (I took it in a C172RG...the Cutlass, yea!)
Explain all about Certificates/Documents, maitenence requried.
Hypoxia
FOI~
Learning types, Laws of learning, learning plateau
Part 61~
Student pilot signoffs (all of them)
Quote from 61 (w/o looking) hours needed/breakdown for private, commercial, CFI and all privliges/limitations, including all maneuvers needed for each stage (pre-solo, solo, X-C).
Prepare/present lesson on short field takeoff and landing (make emphasis on performance tables! They like it.)
Weather information, and briefings.

The flight was pretty routine~
Short Takeoff, steep turns, slow flight, power off stalls, secondary stalls, chandelles, emergency approach to a field, turns around a point, normal landing, normal takeoff, go-around, soft landing...

GOOD LUCK~

Congratulations!! Now, you, too, are another unemployed flight instructor!

Thanks for the excellent practical rundown. Good luck with your students.

On my initial CFI ride, the examiner fell asleep on the way out to the practice area. I remember explaining something I was doing and when I looked over he was practically snoring. I passed.

At least he didn't croak, now that would be a PITA trying to get him to sign the temp cert before you report the problem

Gotta Love The FAA!

Man, that's brutal and outright cruel!

Regardless if you know them or not, as a CFI, you always double-check the regs anyways, before you send your student up for a checkride, solo, etc. to make sure you got everything covered.
