Okay, thank you for your insights! I didn't realize you were a 142 instructor. So forget about the stinking worthless CGI rating! I'll just wipe my a$$ on my Gold Seal CFI so the ink blends in with the rest of the certificate. Holy fudge, $300 is like once around the patch in a Cessna 172 nowadays. Thank heavens for Computer Based Training... who needs ground instructors!
