I'm a little depressed as of today. I've been working on my CFI for about 4.5 months and have been studying my butt off but still don't have a checkride scheduled. I have about 360tt and over 80 complex. I have spent just about 20k on my CFI alone. All my maneuvers are within PTS and all the other instructors I flew with keep asking me when will my main instructor sign me off. I feel like Im close to getting a sign off but I'm running out of money. I have spoken with my instructor about this before and the date just keeps getting pushed back on when I would finish. How long did it take you to complete your CFI?
