My CFI check-ride was a month ago, and it was a over 8 hours with the flight! I also did make my lesson plans from scratch. I used the Backseat pilot as a base and then went through each one and customized them to fit my teaching style and personality. Took probably just as long to prepare that way but worked for me:)
Congrats, Elijah! It is a huge accomplishment to pass the CFI checkride! It definitely can be a long one! Good job making all your lesson plans. Enjoy instructing!
I’m an instrument student with no goals of becoming a CFI but I still find these podcast so valuable!
Thanks for listening, Jonathan!
6 hour oral for CFI with 2 breaks, 4 hour oral for CFII with one break, 1.8 hobbs flight time for each
They can be long checkrides! Thanks for sharing and congrats on getting it done!
