Learning and Loving to Fly – Details, episodes & analysis

Sorry it's been so long! 

My journey to CFI-I was not without challenges but it is not an overly difficult checkride, in my opinion.  

One thing I forget to mention in this podcast is that if you are taking the written test for Instrument Airplane and plan to get your CFI-I within the next 2 years, take the Instrument Instructor written test at the same time.  They are virtually the same test!  Lesson plans are crucial and being in the right mindset is crucial because instrument flying has lots of details to pay attention to.  

Thanks for listening!

This episode covers what I believe to be the most difficult check ride thus far!  There is a lot to know and as a CFI, I now have tons of responsibility.  I started this journey in August of 2021 and am now helping others to start theirs!

In this quick follow-up, I talk about the feelings before and after my first solo just to make sure I didn't miss anything in Episode 5.

Although nerve-wracking - what an exciting week!  This is a quick look at the week that I did my first solo.  I realize after recording that I probably didn't do a great job of describing how I felt the whole week knowing that I'd solo by the end of the week but I'll cover that a little better in my next episode.

Week 2 - the week of frustrating landings and poor maneuver execution (steep turns/stalls)!  We all have those days in learning - don't feel like you are the only one!

This episode covers what the first week of flight training looked like for me!

In this episode - I talk about how I got started with my training to become a private pilot.

In this episode - I talk about what got me here!

This intro describes what the podcast is about!

I am a Commercial Pilot!

This podcast discusses three main areas of my commercial pilot journey:  getting the hours, learning the maneuvers/landings, and going through the check ride!

Lots to uncover! Hope you enjoy!
