When I was a DPE for the FAA I did basically every test you could do except type ratings and warbirds. I did Recreational, Sport, Private, Instrument, Commercial, ATP, Multi-Engine ratings, Initial CFI airplane, CFII and MEI tests. I gave around 3000 flight tests over 11 years and I have always had a strong opinion about the maneuvers that were to be tested in almost every one of the practical tests I conducted. So, what am I getting at? I have no idea why I needed to test ground reference maneuvers, Chandelles, Lazy Eights, and so on. I was also a Flight Examiner for the CAA in the United Kingdom. Ground reference maneuvers were not tested. Not a Lazy Eight or Chandelle in sight.

This week we are going to talk about why it’s not a good idea to rent an airplane that is priced way lower then other places, and we’ll look at a problem area on the CFI checkride and let you know what a typical CFI checkride looks like in terms of what is typically covered and how you can organize information to study for the test. We will also do a quick recap of our March class where we are finishing up the flight side and the checkrides that are happening now and we take a look at a maneuver that is being re-written for the new Authorized Instructor ACS that is due out this Summer and of course we have a marketing tip for you.

This Podcast is an expanded show because we had to miss last weeks Podcast, so this show is around 40 minutes.   On this 14th Podcast of “Flight Training the Way I See it”, we recap what we learned from the Flight School Association of North America, or FSANA’s conference in Orlando a few weeks ago.  There are some changes to the DPE process coming down the pike.  Sorry we missed the Podcast last week, but we had a large CFI Class in Miami and all hands needed to be on deck to take care of the students.  From the last Podcast we tracked down the right way to check on the status of your pilot certificate and perhaps get an extension to your temporary certificate if it has expired.  There is a new checkride and marketing tip, an update on CFI Bootcamp and what new things we are creating, and we look at what it’s like to fly corporate.  In the last segment of the show we talk about flying efficiently and how that is rarely taught.  Mike gives some insight on how to improve the efficiency of flying with something he calls “Minimum Viable Planning”.  Also he takes the time to really explore the inner workings of a commercial maneuver called the Chandelle. Follow us on Facebook: 3weekcif Instagram @cfibootcamp Twitter: @CFI_Bootcamp      We would like to apologize for the missed week of "Flight Training The Way I See It".
