CFII oral exam guide questions? by
Robert M. Gary
Can anyone point me to an oral exam guide (internet preferred) for the
CFII? I see lots of stuff for IR but no one seems to publish anything
for the CFII specifically. Looking for specific questions on teaching
techniques.

Recording flights by

Having seem some postings on here this seems like a good place to come to

too.

landings and i liked it and it helped illustrate what...

Glaze Ice by
brian whatcott
I did an Oxford instrument ground school long ago.
One of the weather topics was glaze ice. This was described as extremely
dangerous, in that supercooled rain could impact and flow to a glassy
ice layer over the wing in seconds, which tended to pull the aircraft
down pronto.
In the last three...

Why is a standard hold right turns? by
Roy Smith
It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left
turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for
landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the
cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns.
But, for IFR holds,...

When does IFR begin in VFR? by
Wizard of Draws
I took a short XC today after a layoff of a few months due to real life
constraints and weather. I filed IFR even though it was VFR because I wanted
to get back into the groove of communicating with ATC.
I filed for 5000 going east. On the ground, they told me it would be faster
if I took off VFR...

Hello all... I was thinking of helping a research group at my school by

question is whether or not this time would be...

Tips on Getting Your Instrument Rating Sooner and at Lower Cost by
Fred
Have you ever carefully studied what the regulations actually REQUIRE
regarding the
various experience requirements for an instrument rating?
The XC requirement in particular, is one that oftentimes unnecessarily adds
to the cost
of an instrument rating and delays getting it.

Right seat flying by

This isn't an IFR related question, but I don't see an r.a group devoted
to instruction. I just received the May/June issue of Aviator's Guide

they say that it is illegal for a non-instructor pilot to fly in the

Requirement to fly departure procedures by

Is an IPC a substitute for 6 approaches? by
Ben Jackson
The way I read 61.57(d) (the requirement for an IPC), it's just an extra
requirement that kicks in under certain circumstances. It's not a subpart
of 61.57(c) (6 approaches etc in 6 months), and (c) does not have any
exceptions related to (d).
So if an IPC is essentially a checkride, it could be...
