Became a CFI yesterday
Hi folks,
A few months ago I came here looking for advice because I was nervous about being a CFI; both the checkride and the potential responsibility it comes with. I got some good advice and support here, and you all wanted to me to let you know what happens.
Passed the ride yesterday. Still somewhat in disbelief. Inspector was happy overall and said my flying and knowledge were great. I still don't plan to be a flight school instructor though; I plan to use my CFI mainly in civil air patrol.
Thanks APC.

I agree. Prior to your first dual given,everything you've done has been at the direction of someone else. You get an entirly different perspective being the one doing the directing.

Congrats! As I reflect on my CFI (obtained in 1991) I can't help but think of the number of student logbooks my social security number appears in - back in the day before we had distinct numbers...
