CFIs, did you use 1 or 2 AC on the ride?

I appreciate the replies, thanks again.

Is that the norm? 'Cause I had to fly and instruct during the whole ride. Not once did he touch the controls. And I did mine in a C172RG after 4 hours and 2 mechanical issues (missing gear door spring on the preflight and a dead mag during the run-up). Talk about exhausting.

I did a lazy eight and TAP for him, as well as couple of landings, maybe .3 total out of a 1.2 long ride. By far, the easiest practical and oral I've ever had.

Look, he knows your CFI won't sign you off until you're ready, and if you don't know the cloud clearences and lazy eights by now, then there's something seriously wrong

relax

CFI aircraft

All my CFI students used only one aircraft; 182RGs at Riddle and Mooney MO20s at FSI. Their examiners just wanted to see the required spin signoff. I cannot remember if any of them were asked about spins during their orals.

I would use just one airplane. It's far less brain damage.

Good luck with your practical.
