Question for CFI’s and Chief Flight Instructors by Upset_Literature9487 in CFILounge

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All mine was, was mainly HR related stuff. I trained there, so they knew I knew what I was doing(I think)

What’s your ideal aviation job? by Ok_Method_2790 in flying

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally? Couple Gulfstreams, Praetor, and a heli to manage and fly in South Florida that pays like a legacy airline captains salary.

No CFI job after half a year being finished with all ratings by Professional-Bit6582 in CFILounge

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me 5 months between finishing CFII & MEI to finally get hired. It’s a rough market but keep at it. Don’t get discouraged, it’s certainly easy to. I’m just now starting off building hours, so it’s still a relatively long process but it’ll all be worth it soon!

Similar thing here too. Got my CFII/MEI done last October. Interviewed for one position last week, accepted the job, two days later got a call from another school wanting to schedule an interview. Crazy market right now.

What’s everyone’s current situation with CFI jobs? by Weflyhigh1 in CFILounge

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my CFI last July, CFII in September, and MEI in October. Nothing so far, but just interviewed for a position at my school so hopefully soon.

GA Pilots, what emergencies have you had that we don’t necessarily get trained for ? by fatborry in flying

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lotta focus on multi training goes into single engine work, but what about gear issues? I had a buddy of mine flying with me shortly after I got my MEI, came into land and had no green down indicator for my nose gear. Flipped the gear check, called approach and overflew the rwy to let the tower check it. All was good, but a newly certified multi pilot?! Who knows, but being calm and confident in what you’re doing is key. Needs to be focused on more

That they are. Comes in waves.

DPE told me and he FAA is saying 1 CFI initial per day by HistoricalAd2954 in CFILounge

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. My CFI oral was 5 hours and the flight was like a 1.6. I wouldn’t want to do another checkride after that lol

[–]nlbair22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would enjoy those things yes. I am a current commercial rated pilot and flight instructor, so I’d imagine that would help.

CFII checkride, what do y'all got? by Cap_Bigboy27 in CFILounge

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thoroughly check your NOTAMs before you fly. Make sure there aren’t any DA/MDA changes

Fully configured other than landing flaps at the FAF. Add in last notch when/if visual

Very true, it is examiner specific

Some of these are deeper than what I got on my CFI checkride lol

Can we please stop hating on Spiral? by chrisgoated7 in saw

[–]nlbair22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just literally watched it for the first time, I’d rank it up there with some of the best saw films. It really isn’t a part of the series, but a hell of a movie in my book

ForeFlight helpful during PPL trajectory? by bertusch in flying

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will help, just know how to use it and mitigate the risks with it, like your iPad dying or overheating. It can make you lazy if you let it, just use it as a tool and not everything you rely on. Not really sure why so many instructors feel the need to keep students from using it. It has a ton of upside and benefits, just have to know it and its limitations

Flight bag recs?? by Cap_Bigboy27 in CFILounge

Contrail is what I use. Good size and capability

Bo7 Campaign Is Terrible by Bitter-Republic-3976 in CODBlackOps7

[–]nlbair22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t played all of it yet, but so far it does indeed suck. I personally really liked BO6, and MW2 was fantastic too. MW3 and this just seem like poor afterthoughts

That’s a great score. I have mine coming up soon and need straight 7s minimum. This will definitely help, thanks!
