CFII (Initial) Checkride

[Flechas]

humph...more like... "mini doesn't work..."

Hahaha that's a classic!!

24 Hours of FTD time. 15 in the instrument program and 9 in the commercial program.

The reduced program for the commercial is a PITA. Stage 1 is a ton of VFR cross countries. It sucks. Stage 2 is maneuvers in a 152 (or 172 depending on weight). Stage 3 is in the 172RG for 8.5 hours then the stage check for 1.5. Then you have a check ride with a DPE or "retired FSDO inspector".

It really should only take a month tops...you can do the stage 1 in a week...stage 2 in a week or so and stage 3 is only like 6 flights, so....no biggie....for some reason I've been in the program for 5 months. Oh yeah...I know why...I had to wait a month for a stage 1 stage check (it was a cross country with a diversion).......yep...a month...32 days...

okay I'm done

CFI-I Initial

We flew the ILS 17R at OKC (fairly simple approach when you've got ADF and DME) . . . .

Flew over the Tuloo OM, did you?

Congratulations! You took the road I took, earning CFI-I as my initial and adding the others later.

Just wondering who was your examiner. I earned all of my ratings when I lived in OKC and was curious.

70 hrs total in the CSE course (the "short" course). That includes three stage checks (1.5 each), 9 hours of sim time (FTD) and 1 hour instrument "review" flight.

bobby: Yep...tuloo to the MAP was forever long...hella slow ground speed headin south...fun checkride...PM me if you wanna know who the examiner was...

all: Thanks for the kind words...rumor has it I might be able to get the CMEL and CFI done tomorrow, so I'm off to study critical engines and "vector resolution"

Airman at OUN...instructors know their stuff and the aircraft are...functional...

just be warned
Stage 1 signoff to stage check = 32 Days
Stage 2 signoff to stage check = 16 Days
Stage 3 signoff to stage check = 9 Days
Stage 3 check to check ride = 10 Days

Lots of time on the ground...that's the only complaint I have...

I don't even think the Pope with many prayers could pull off all the multi and CFI training in one day as well as both checkrides during that same day. You surely are going to stamp your name all over that place if you pull it off, surely it hasn't been done more than once before!!.

Four words to ya:

Balls To The Walls!

Power up, clean up, identify, verify, feather, secure ... if I say it enough it sounds easy

 

[mattpilot]

gimme a link please mini to a website of airmen. Gawd... don't make me pull everything out of your arse

 

[Flechas]

Mixture, props, throttles, flaps up, gear up, identify(dead foot dead engine), verify, decide (feather or not)

DOST THOU DOUBTEST MINITOUR?!? NAY-SAYER!!!

I hear he goes about 7'10", 590lbs!!! He'll eat a homeless person if you dare him! Did I ever tell you about the time that I saw Minitour scissor-kick Angela Lansbury? You know, he jumped off the Empire State Building this one time on a dare and he only sprained his ankle! And just like an alligator, he can FULLy digest a turtle shell. So getting his multi and CFI training in one day is cake!!

Lets set the record straight.

Height is about 2' off...weight is about right...eating habits are pretty well documented above...no way I can scissor-kick, but I'd regular kick Angela Lansbury...I'm too afraid of heights to even go up the Empire State Building, but...CFI and MEL in one day? no problem...the duchess is like a 172RG with an extra engine...no biggie

Non-Sense! Just flip the "Auto-Feather" switch on prior to takeoff.

That way the only thing you have to do is act really suprised when one of the engines rev down and props come to a stand still!
