If you haven't left the bubble of your 141 world yet, get it done at your school. You never know when you're going to need it. Once you get outside the 141 world over there, and try and get it Pt. 61, you will work harder to get it because some examiners go out of their way to fail CFI add on's because they don't know you from a hole in the wall....so they tend to fail people. That is what I have seen. However...comma....if you teach for a little while and hold off you will be a better instructor...and when you have seen all the different ways a student can try and kill you in a single engine airplane...it will make you keenly aware of what they can do when you fail an engine on them!

Either way, have fun instructing and keep flying as much and whatever you can! It will make you a better instructor! Get that MEI! It's better to make people pay you to build your ME time! Hope that helps.

Snippercr...you must be an Illinois guy huh? Go Illini!
