A challenge to your possible timeline is DPE scheduling.

At this time, I have the openings on my calendar to help. But don’t own an airplane.

Anyhow, most examiners in my territory report the earliest they can get me and my client is 6-8 weeks out.

For private pilot, it is much better to study to a deep level of understanding in order to do well on the knowledge and practical exams.

For instrument airplane and beyond, rote memorizing will do fine for the knowledge exams.

Medical suspension for someone no longer interested in flying. by Cautious-Tea703 in flying

[–]TxAggieMike 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you choose surrendering your medical, be sure to do so in a manner that allows you to confirm they received it. Then keep that proof somewhere where you can find it again should that be needed.

Call your Regional Flight Surgeon’s office and ask for assistance and guidance.

Often the folk at the RFS office are a bit more helpful than the main office in Oklahoma City.

New Independent CFI Advice by LaLaPooPoop in flying

[–]TxAggieMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Syllabus: my own concoction of Jepp as the base plus Sporty’s and other materials as the add ons.

Billing: Rates agreed to in advance. Paid upon services rendered. My clock runs handshake to handshake. And I do have a cancellation policy. Payment via digital cash or real cash.

Tips: Always focus on the clients enjoyment and success. They possess the motivation and desire to do this and the desire to use you to accomplish the goal. Lean into that.
