5 years of flight training | CFI Checkride and how I prepared! 

thank you! 💛

oof, for me ground was a weakness (as I mentioned in the video). I did maybe 50 hrs of ground, including flight lessons, debrief, pre flight etc. So 50 is the higher estimate I have for the hours billed for my CFI, ground and in-flight correction from him really. *Actual dedicated ground lesson, (where I was teaching my CFI my lessons, and he was asking me questions/critiqing), probably lower more around 30 hrs. About 2x a week for 4 months. roughly.

also, if you study well, be consistent, and fly 1-2x a week you should be able to get it done in 3 months or so. Weather affects it, family events too. But for me I felt ready after 3-4 months. It took me 6 months because my DPE wasn't available until 3 months later 😂 i hope that helps you budget!

Thank you for being here!! 😃😊

awh that means a lot! and honestly, I have a lot of rather...surprising news coming to the channel. Soon, I'm trying to figure out how to say it. Thanks for being here! 🤙

@@abbieamavi that's amazing, don't rush anything you don't have to, we'll be here when you're ready to tell us :)

@@wiffybanter4445 I know I'm late, but thanks for the kind words :)

that's crazy because I look sorta sickly in this vid but thank u😂

thank you!! CFI is not for the weak or unmotivated, but I was both of those things at the start and ending of my training tbh. It's a bit of a slog, but I kept the end goal and my Why in mind. As cliche as it is, it helps😂

thanks for the advice! any multi courses you recommend? I'm hoping to go do a 3-7 day course, just pay up front and request time off. Get it all done in one go.

thank you for being here and following the videos! I do appreciate it, because I love to share but it's not as fun alone! And I'll think about it, I do think my whole outlook on producing content has changed as well. More to come, even if it might be different :)
