Hey guys. Most of you dont know me. I usually just read the posts, and give me 2 cents everyonce in a while. But I just had to announce that I passed my CFI checkride. After a lot of sleepless nights of studying, I can finally say im a CFI!!

Hey man, congratulations. I think my psyche is still recovering 4 months later! That is one SOB checkride in terms of depth of knowledge. Kinda gives me a headache thinking about it!

Congrats! Any pirep from your ride? DE or FSDO?
I just did mine a few weeks ago. After today, I have a whopping 2.0 dual given- pretty cool to have a new column to start up in the logbook!
While you're still in study mode, start up on the II prep!

I got lucky and was given a DE. But it was still very hard. The II is coming soon. I just needed a week to hang out and enjoy it for a bit. I havent given any dual yet, but I was assigned 2 students starting next week. Im pretty excited about that. but a bit nervous. any first time mess ups i should be aware of??

Hey that was the smart thing to do! Get back on that horse and ride it till the legs break off! I got my CFI and moved 7 days later. Haven't flown since (about 4 months). I don't recommend that route.
