i asked exactly what i needed to know, honestly, where i came from and why i was doing both was irrelevant, the untimely responses was because of me studying my butt off to pass, I only passed judgement because Cubdriver jumped right to calling me a pretender when i said i was doing both, I am not sure why A.) i was callled a pretender and B.) why my question was incomplete, i was simply asking for a gouge for the Columbus FSDO or any info pertaining to them. hawker driver thanks for your input, i was mainly directing my attitude towards cub driver, calling me a pretender and all, but also the info you gave me was very vague, those are "common errors" that basically most CFI candidates are aware of, and I already had the ASA Oral Exam prep
