    Teaching during CFI training/Checkride:
    What is it
    Why do we have to know it
    How does it work
    How do we apply it
    Teaching your very first student:
    Holy smokes i know absolutely nothing.

    I failed my CFI Checkride by being 300' too high for ground reference maneuvers. Taught an emergency decent and the examiner gave me an altitude to level off at, then asked for a ground ref maneuver which I performed at that given altitude all the while saying to myself "I'm too high" but I still had the mentality to maintain the last given altitude.

      for sure its important to take charge especially during the flight portion if there is something that is really important to the DPE they will tell you so

    This is why I left ATP. They want rote memorization until you start teaching, then you actually learn. I want to fully understand so I can teach better as well as understanding it myself. Students can't learn if you don't actually know what you're teaching

    When teaching a maneuver, would it be appropriate to have something like the “ThrustFlight maneuver guide” open to the particular maneuver that is being taught?

      that is what I did as a CFI candidate...boiled the flight school's guide down to a couple page deal that fits in my lap so I can go step by step...but I can't speak for

    Yeah, this video has me terrified.
    Went to practice with my CFI and he told me I'm too focused on knowledge and psyching myself out. "You fly the airplane great, youll do fine." Never have had a checkride prep session where we do rigorous questions/oral quizzing and the oral is my hardest part. I dont have a CFI binder, never prepped a lesson before, airplane systems are a weak point, and feel no one is willing to study with me.
    Failed my first commercial oral last time before getting it corrected for the second. Just melting down inside since instruxtor told me to reach out to the DPE to get it on the schedule and now it's three weeks away 😢

      My instrument Oral was 5 hours long. He went for the deep dive on most subjects. I passed, but I was exhausted. In my area, most DPE’s spend a lot of time doing the oral. CFI checkrides around here sometimes take two days to finish.
