Super easy, oral was on the instruments and systems. ride was a VOR and an ILS to full stop.

Im gettin ready for my II ride...any stories about the oral/flight?... I already have my initial so im sure it wont be as bad...

Probably the easiest checkride i have ever done. 1 ILS approach and 1 full procedure ndb approach followed by a hold. 30 min oral flew by easy ride. You shouldnt have any problems.

Is "Instrument Flying" by Richard Taylor a book worth reading prior to II ride?

When the examiner walked in the room, he said, "Aside from the multi, this is probably the easiest checkride you'll ever take." Had to explain how the airspeed indicator worked, that was the hardest part of the oral. I wore a hood for the entire flight after take off.

Just like on the initial CFI ride, don't shut up during the flight. Keep explaining everything you're doing.

I was asked questions straight out of the AIM for such things as "what are the two types of airspace", what are the part 91 requirements for an IFR flight, even some FOI questions.

Inflight I did a hold and an ILS approach, then I taught the examiner how to do a GPS approach.

Kind of like using a sandblaster on a snowball.... He'd never seen a GPS approach before, but he didn't want me to spend the time to teach it to him properly. That reminds me, the next time I pass through town he needs a copy of my GPS book.

Fly SAFE!

CFI-I ride

Don't be complacent. Quite a few examiners test add-on candidates on the FOI, even though they had previously demonstrated their knowledge of it during their initials.

Just as with any instructor practical, the FAA publications are its last word on what to know, how it should be known, how to do it and how to teach it. In other words, it's the Instrument Flying Manual and not Richard Taylor for which you will be held responsible.

The flight probably will be something like an instrument ride out of the right seat, probably not as long, and with you teaching the entire time. I'm not kidding about "entire time." Don't stop teaching until the examiner hands you your wet Temporary and asks you to sign it.

Good luck with your practical.
