CFII Practical test gotchas?

[Catbert]

Thanks all. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have never been asked in any ride to draw a system out? Granted I did my CFI,II, MEI a few years back, but have never been asked to do that? Currently flying at the 121 level, no one asks that even on a PIC oral. Crazy, find a different examiner.

 

[Catbert]

Well, I passed.

Not exactly the best instrument flight I ever made, but met the standards. Emphasis in this one was teaching, CFII limitations, endorsements, and privilages. Never did have to draw that d@mn electrical system.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

I took mine at Sheble's and there were absolutely no gotchas...very easy ride. I think the oral was 3 questions and the flight was an approach and hold.

Congrats. I passed too on Wedsneday. Not my best flying but my examiner was pretty easy. He was more pilot to pilot and offered suggestions on teaching an instrument student. Now that dang MEI and ATP in some more hours and we'll be set.

My CFII ride was about 4 years ago.....can't wait to do my ME ratings there.

He was more pilot to pilot and offered suggestions on teaching an instrument student.

Mine was the same way. About half the ride was him giving me pointers. "Now you're going to find students do this," and "watch out for thing x, they'll do that every time." I appreciated it, some were surprising.

Now that dang MEI and ATP in some more hours and we'll be set.

Yeah, now I only have to add the MEI, ATP, ASES, AMES, tailwheel endorsement, LR25 type rating...........

...and make sure you have a twenty dollar bill hidden in your palm when you shake his hand.

As opposed to the $300+ cash it costs for a DE these days????
