Notes:
1. As a checkride examiner, I will hold CFI’s to a higher standard of professionalism and competency per the FAA. It is important for you to prepare adequate lesson plans and be prepared to teach both during the ground portion and flight portion of the practical test just as you would with a new student. A white board will be made available in my testing facility. I do not recommend power point presentations. I want you to show me that you understand the material well enough to teach.
2. The CFII Add-on may be one of the more enjoyable checkrides. You will fly right seat for most of the maneuvers while teaching, flying, and staying in the PTS limits for each maneuver. The examiner may introduce some incorrect control inputs which you will then provide a correction response.
3. Your homework scenario will be the same Instrument scenario as shown in this section. We will discuss this fully. Don’t forget to contact Randy to get your special teaching assignments. I do expect professional presentations for topics that you should know and understand first and foremost. I don’t encourage Power Point Presentations but if you use one expect to be questioned heavily to show me that you understand the subject material. I do have a large white board and I would like nothing better than you explain as many visual concepts that way as possible. Do this for a “paying” student who expects wisdom from you in exchange for money.
