Hey guys,

Proud to join the ranks! Passed my CFI ride at FlightSafety, with a score of 95 on the oral and 90 on the flight. Both the oral and the flight were pretty straight forward, and I was delighted that my check airman found my plan of action for the flight appealing enough to let me fly it :)

Anyways I look forward to world of flight instruction!
 
Congrats and welcome! Now is when the real learning starts to take place. I got my cfi certificates back in august and I've gotten about 150 dual given since then. And I have learned sooooooo much in that time. It's good stuff. But I also realized that I have a lot less patience than I thought I did. Haha. But good luck and have fun. It's a blast building your own pilots. Just don't forget that it's true what they teach you... the students REALLY ARE always trying to kill you. Congrats again and fly safe!

Awesome! Who was doing the torture?

Pazmino and Jeff Conner who was back seating my ride doing TQM. Edison was terrific, in that he didn't stress me out. He just let me do my thing, and I went through everything as thoroughly as possible. He made some excellent points here and there, but they were more fine-tuning aspects of my instruction and my approach to manuevers. Thankfully everything was within PTS, so I was fortunate to get some bonus tips and ideas, instead of being bonked on the head for screw ups - great stuff :)

Thanks! Yeah, the ol' "license to learn" never really changes does it? I look at my CFI ticket as a license to learn, just as I have with every ticket I've gotten. I just feel a sense of awe over the responsibilty that I have, and the privilege to exercise that responsibility. It's the most rewarding ticket I've ever earned, aside from instrument.

Congratulations!!!! Pazmino did mine as well. Do you plan to interview now?

Already done with the interviews; actually did them while I was studying for the ride. Presentation and 1 on 1's went very well, I have my sim eval on Friday, so we'll see how it goes!
 
I had Ritter for the sim eval. It went well. Just BAI, a hold, and a couple approaches. One non-precision and one precision. She failed an engine right at the OM of the ILS app. Make sure you enter the hold correctly though, a guy I went through the interview process with didn't and had to redo the sim eval to get the biz jet offer.
