Cost of CFI rating

Something I have always recommended to every CFI candidate studying for
the practical that crossed my path was to pick someone outside the
aviation community like a friend, a girlfriend, a mother or father etc.
Ask them to serve as a "student" guinea pig, then pick things at random
that they will be teaching as a CFI and try to "teach it to these people".
Then have them explain it back as they understand it from what you have
both said and demonstrated to them visually. It's an eye opening
experience for a potential CFI.
I have found this "technique" extremely helpful to new CFI applicants
getting ready for the examination.

Hmmm. It sounds like it would be a good idea to try and teach a student
like this, all of the way up to the point of first solo, to make sure that
the potential CFI really has their skills in line.

Free of charge, of course! ggg
