I liked and appreciated the CFI…
I liked and appreciated the CFI material and training videos and documentation. It did help me confirm that what I was doing was sufficiently preparing me for my CFI check ride. The feedback I got from the DPE was that I needed to get more into the regulations. questions such as you receive a student who is a helicopter pilot out of the army and he wants to do his fixed wing conversion....what does he need from you? I feel like I could have done better in that regard. I did buy slides from backseat pilot for this ride which the DPE liked. I did not see such material on your site. I think that the CFI check ride material could be improved. There is no one out there that is ...imho... guiding students in a confident and complete direction for the CFI check ride. It is a confusing rating to navigate and a more clear guided path could be provided. I also used Gleam to prepare for this check ride which was a confusing experience. I did well on the FOI portion but not so well on the FIA portion even though I was scoring in the 90s before each test. I signed up late for your course and I could not get to the study questions. All in all I like your material, your videos, and would love to come fly with you and stay at the lodge one day.
