Hey guys,

Just trying to gouge some experiences you guys had with your local FSDO when you were taking your CFI initial. I live in Houston and would like to take my test with this FSDO if I had a decent shot of passing.. if anyone has any experiences with the Houston FSDO that would be great!

Do you get to pick your examiner? Anybody have a recommendation?

The DE I've used for my checkrides said his CFI oral was 8 hours long, which to me seems pretty ridiculous. Seems more like a test of endurance..

Thanks in advance.

Chris
