Checkride is scheduled everyone!!!!! lol FINALLY
What? 15-20 hours? I had a 9 year hiatus from flying altogether between Commercial and CFI, and didn't require that...I just did my first, real, honest-to-Hoover teach/fly from the right seat yesterday. I'd flown from the right, prior, but now I was talking/teaching as I flew and demonstrated.
Also hadn't flown a 172 in more than two years (been flying a PA-28R and TB-10/200) but got over that quickly.
It was a lot of fun. I did all right, all things considered. Got a ways to go, though. Shooting for 15-20 hours total to be proficient.

Were you studying during your 9 year break? I'm somewhat similar. I've been out of it since 2002 and hoping to do my flight review for Commercial and Instrument in the coming weeks. Then it's on to the CFI. I've been studying off and on over the last few months, but it's hard to keep myself motivated to study after coming home from a 9 hour work day.
I studied my butt off before going out to fly again. I had studied some, but really dove into it when I decided to get my cfi. I went over all my maneuvers on flight sim, just to refresh on what was supposed to happen.Were you studying during your 9 year break? I'm somewhat similar.

There were a lot of things I had forgotten, but I was active duty and couldn't afford too much flying, so I made the best of what I had.
Good idea. Thanks!Make a game out of it. Establish a reward system.

Well?
41 days for CFI/CFII at American Flyers and almost everyone in my class passed first try on both checkrides, minus 1 or 2. 28 days for the initial. Would highly suggest it, loved the program.
