6 Hardest Parts About Becoming a CFI

[@buckyperchski-mc2vo]

The hardest part about becoming a CFI, is reading the Aviation Instructor's Handbook without blowing your brains out.

[@pork_friedrice]

I found it hard to focus on the content with the loud “background music” and the even louder pop-up sound effects

[@ronsflightsimlab9512]

So... Regarding the Nav Log... The DPE, at the end, said: "Why didn't you use your Ipad?!". It was an interesting moment. Things are changing...

[@abbieamavi]

This happened to me during my private!! My DPE went “it’s great that you can do it all paper…..but why not just use your EFB?” 😂

[@zachcraftx]

Some private students dont have ipads is why

[@JoshSwinson-bj5wn]

My dpe said she's ok with efb, but some of her peers want to see the paper.

[@DaddyRecon1]

Great topic & excellent points - less music -a little too loud.

[@jimcoleman11]

Great content, but the music is distracting and way too much.

[@aaront3749]

Bob is the greatest!!

[@colinrdoyle]

milquetoast royalty-free music intensifies 🎸

[@joesillamanrs7189]

Great inputs but maybe a little lower volume dodge ram tv commercial music

[@dp_zee]

Lol the editor went nuts with his stock titles and pop ups

[@sacpilot]

I tried to watch this but the music was awful. It's sad because I know there's some good information about becoming a CFI but I just can't stand the noise.

“I’d rather be on the ground wishing I was in the air instead of in the air wishing I was on the ground”.

[@thetruckingsurfer8774]

Had to turn it off because of the music in the background

[@mikearakelian6368]

Get rid of the music!

[@williamk5998]

Sorry but you lost me with the unnecessary and distracting background music.

[@ClevelandEscape]

I want to fly I just dont wanna be a CFI :(

[@gordo1163]

Me either. It sucks that being a CFI is pretty much the only job you can get as a low time pilot.

[@davisandotube]

Yeah, it sucks big. Only here in the US pilots are forced to become CFI’s and that is the reason you will always find horrible CFI’s

[@wayneleinen7030]

You can always pay for those hours yourself…

[@devilik3692]

no one does, 95% of dont, and clowns who tell you that you shouldnt be flying if you cant handle cfi can suck it

[@davisandotube]

​@@wayneleinen7030 Of course, I've paid more than 400 hours myself but there is a time you just can't keep doing it. I'm thinking about going the CFI route too but is an uphill, I know so many people that are CFI's and they're just not good for their students. They are very nice people but when it comes to instructing they're just doing it to get the hours and at the end they instruct the bare minimum for students to pass, but not REALLY INSTRUCT, and I think that is a disservice for aviation in general.
