Default FOI...lol... CFI oral?

I don't know where you instruct and how large a sample you based this on, but
it's certainly not true for the CFIs I know and have trained. One who had to
go recently with a difficult inspector from the local FSDO had an oral that
lasted about four hours, but most of the others I'm familiar with around two
hours.

Expect a lot of questions about FOI. This is one of the reasons some
choose to do the instrument instructor before the ASE instructor (to break
up a hard checkride).


But won't FOI still be covered if the instrument is the initial CFI checkride?


I recall my own oral at about two hours, but back in the stone age :-)
