Hey, all. Been searching around the internet trying to get a ballpark
cost
to add CFI to a CP-ASEL-IA. Anybody done that lately?

I have seen people do it with just two hours in the right seat and
considerable ground preparation.

JAR instructor rating 30 hours flying, 125 ground school , 90 with a CFI 35
self study

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".

I'm going for my CFI checkride in a couple of weeks. I finished all of
the flying and ground work a couple of weeks ago, but between FAA delays
and real life interfering (work, family vacation, etc), the checkride
isn't until June 18. With all of that time on my hands, I'm planning on
doing just that. Actually, I went up on Saturday for that purpose, put
my "guinea pig" has bad allergy problems and had just dosed, so it
didn't work out. I'm going to try again with someone else before the
checkride.


I have found this "technique" extremely helpful to new CFI applicants
getting ready for the examination.

No one suggested it to me, it just seemed an obvious way to practice.
Good to have that theory validated by someone else's experience.

Ah... the original question assumed PP-ASEL-IA, so the instrument rating is
already there. I'm afraid to remember what I spent on the instrument
rating, but I passed it -IN- IMC.

I know that . That's what I'm wondering here. Nobody seem to be mentioning
the cost of the IR.

Is that IA supposed to be IR?


You must have an instrument rating to be a CFI. An
instrument instructor add-on to the CFI is just 'I'.
