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
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.
🤣 Trial by fire does wonders to an instructor
Prepping for CFI now; great tips thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Same here!
Great tips and points, you two. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 😁
I am taking my CFI Check Ride today and am absolutely nervous. This video calmed me so we’re gonna do our best! Thank you!
7 months later... how did it go?
Excellent. I like to quiz aircraft systems .
It all depends on the CFI you get. I have passed my checkride, but some of the insights shared in this video are true and practical.👍
I have my checkride in 2 weeks! this video was great, some helpful tips.
Glad it was helpful, Good luck on your check ride! 😁
You two are awesome!
Thanks Mark!
My ride is next week! Lets do this, thank you for the tips.
Good luck on your checkride! We hope you the best 😄
@@ThrustFlight I passed! Thank you for the great tips, they helped me big time😁
congrats!!
Hey Jarrod!!
Awesomeness
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
Thrust Flight Academy as I am not near there but would use them if I was
@@gveduccio docs.thrustflight.com/Fleet%20Docs/2%20-%20Cessna/C172-Private-and-Commercial-Maneuver-Guide.pdf
This is the maneuver guide that I was referring to.
@@glenjohnson9775 Thanks I sent that to another CFI Candidate friend he said that would be real helpful...in my opinion going over some of this stuff in the ground then having it out like a checklist makes sense when teaching...can always use the ForeFlight documents feature so less stuff in lap
@@gveduccio You’re welcome. Will the examiner have the candidate teach the maneuver on the ground prior teaching it the air?
Do a video on BGI please
Noted!
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.
@matthoman504 So what happened, did you pass?
@@DaleEicher Yes.
@@DaleEicher Wife had a baby instead, been just getting some sleep for the first time in months and back to the drawing board for preparation/currency. TBD
Update: failed oral. Need to retest Task B and M, the mandatory ones, what an embarrassment.
No idea what the flight portion will look like now, two weeks away.

These videos are pointless
OMG this is pure BS, the CFI can pass you at the first 10 mins of talking and flying if you know your airplane, that's why the test is after a certain amount of hrs
Your post makes no sense.
