I have been a CFI for 3 weeks and I know have 5 students. Two primaries and 3 instrument students.

I haven't made a dollar in 2 year, but I should be making a few while also taking a couple classes. It should be worth at least a 100 hours of flying.

It is going to be a busy yet fun semester. I can't wait!!

So I take it that ATP CFI thing was a good thing?

Yeah, it turned out to be a great thing. UND hired 135 instructors last week (give or take a few) and I was one of the lucky ones.

The only thing I have to do now is get over this nervousness. I am a little afraid for my first few flights, but I am sure things will smooth our after the first couple weeks.

"Ummm....yeah, let me help you with the seatbelt [drops checklist out door]

•....lemme get that....[bangs head on wing spar], ok, ummm, let me help you start the engine[drops keys]....ummm, lemme get this seatbelt off to get the key...."

It passes quickly!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Congrats. Seriously, that's huge on my mind right now...how I'm going to be on the first day of being a "real" instructor (like somehow I'm a fake one right now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif). I think that's probably pretty normal. Let us know how it goes!

By the way, is UND Part 141 or 142? I heard that you guys were 142, but that was from a fairly unreliable source...
 
My instruments were easy and fun, my primaries scared the CRAP out of me!
