Default What were they thinking?

For some strange reason I have been given the right to teach others how to fly! That's right I am now a CFI!

Something strange though - It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. The preparation was intense and took a lot of time but the actual checkride wasn't. It was a 3 hour ground which is pretty below others I've heard about and the flight was nothing special because its everything you have done time and again.

I definitly don't think the guy gave me anything or cut any slack but just an observation.

Thanks for all the help on JC... I know I have ask my fair share of questions and I hope to give back some answers from now on.

Thanks guys

I know the real learning begins now when you teach and I really can't wait for that. I was fortunate enough to have some really great instructors that showed me how to really pass on this knowledge.

I hope to be at least half as good as they were
