World's Newest CFI
I thought I would drop a line and say I passed my CFI practical today (on the first time too). In all honesty, it wasn't so bad. I was drilled for about 2 hours and the next few hours, the examiner and I discussed some of the ways to teach students difficult concepts.
The checkride was no biggie - just a commercial ride from the right seat where you don't stop talking til you're parked.
I am really excited, and it feels SO strange to all of the sudden be the teacher instead of the student. I have a few intro. students lined up for this fall semester, which will be fun.
From here - MEL, CFII, and MEI.
