This video series along with Todd Shellnutts cfi prep are some of the most helpful resources ive had throughout my journey. The fact that we live in a day and age where resources like these are easily accessible makes me so grateful. Just passed my cfi oral!

I’m honestly not the best sturdier but am working on my CFI. Gave up on all distractions, video games, drinking etc. These videos are a huge help. Thanks!
Hey Jon, Just wanted to write and say thank you so much for all of the free CFI checkride videos you have posted. I’ve never been the strongest with Oral knowledge portion of exams and discovered your guys channel during my student pilot phase a little over a year and a half ago. Prior to every checkride (Private-Commercial and CFI) I’d watch your videos over and over - pausing whenever you or the volunteer would ask a question and answer it myself. Yesterday I passed my CFI initial checkride after about a 3.5 hour oral. There is no doubt that your videos had a huge help in making me better understand the PTS (I even enrolled in the PTS explained guide your school offers). You guys do a great at making even the most complex subjects understandable for a new/confused student and I look forward to sharing your content with my future students to help try and ease the nerves Thank you again!
Thanks for these. I am working on my CFI and hopefully about a month or two away from the checkride. Having done well on my private, instrument and commercial rides, this one is quite daunting.
Hey John Ive got my MEI checkride coming up in hopefully three weeks. I'm going to watch all of these CFI checkride videos in preparation. Thank you so much.
I am only a lowly PPT SEL without an instrument rating, and have been for 50 years. I have no need or desire to be a CFI, but I want to learn all that I can about aviation, so I relish this video series. Thank you so much, and to Lufthansa for donating the instructor's time and the facilities to make these videos.
From the first ten minutes I got the impression that for being a CFI you need to know FAA's CFI book by heart. Some of that has general information that is not directly applicable to the real life of a CFI. One thing is to read those things and understand them, another to be examined on that.
Hey, John, this is my first time to write a comment, because I've no idea how to appreciate to you, my CFI checkride is coming soon and part of FOI really freaking me! I'd like to say thank you so much to publish this video to everyone. This video is absolutely helpful! Keep it up!!
Just wanted to stop by and say that this video series literally helped me pass my CFI. This is the best video series out there! Thanks a bunch to Fly8ma
Mine was back in 74 with a federal examiner. It was in the TCA which is B airspace today. He knew I was a high school teacher at the time. We flew out of the TCA and out over Lake Erie. He says give me 60 degree bank with 360 degree turn. He says I will give you 20 feet each way. So I did that and he says let’s head back. I thought I must have flunked it. No he must have had a lunch date. We went back in and signed me up for CFI. I just had practiced 60 degree bank turns so I lucked out on that. My CFII again at Federal Examiner. We went out and shot a couple of instrument approaches in the TCA. It was a short one also.
Jon, thank you for taking the time and effort to creating these videos. I have my CFI Checkride on October 29th and I am using these videos to get additional practice. Thank you, Dean in Nashville
I got my CFI around 10 years ago, but moved on to other parts of the profession shortly after. This was a great refresher. I'm glad to say I remembered most of what is discussed in the videos, but no one's memory is perfect. This is way better than any FIRC for getting into the nitty-gritty of CFI knowledge.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!! Cleared my CFI checkride with ease, I watched these videos about 30 times (i heard your voice in my head during the exam). I will send my students to your website (assuming I get hired in these times, lol).
I really appreciate you guys doing this. I have more anxiety towards my CFI ride than any other. This helps digest it. I hope to fly for Lufthansa once I hit my 500 hours (200 dual given).
Jon, thank you so much for posting this. I am planning on getting my CFI renewed, and this is excellent refresher. Looking forward to all of them! I will also check out your website.
One week until my MEI and it’s my initial. Feeling good and this video helped me see what it’s like in the room and how I should flow and talk. Thank you!
I wish actual checkrides went like this. Real life DPE's are not chuckling politely while you explain. I also dont think they would let me read off of an ipad. That aside, this was very helpful. Thank you!
As a CFI have you explained some of the priciples of effective learning to the student to explain "why you did the way you did" during a flight lesson? That might help the student appreciate the context. And this sort of conscious learning can be contrasted with muscle memory exercises to "train out" unsafe behavior, which also has an important place in flight training.
As someone who is looking to get my CFI reinstated after many years this is appreciated. Thanks. One thing though, I was told that the CFI orals given where I am and notes, lesson plans are not allowed. Thus, all you have is your brain. Is that how it is now? CFI check rides when I got my initial was 3 to 4 hours. Now it is about 8. They have really raised the bar. I was not quizzed at all about FOI back then.
Jon, I passed mine last Thursday! Thanks, you're doing great videos. I do wish the room had more lighting in the room so your marker board work was readable, but it wasn't distracting from the main idea.
Intense: I must have been 3 or 4. I was with my dad at the old Robert Mueller airport while he was working for Burlington. Night time, the sound of a (now I know) DC8 APU at the cargo dock. Orange lighting.
Hello well when I learned the human needs they call it different 1 physical needs 2 safety, 3 social, 4 egotistical, 5 self fulfillment. There is not love in biology. Nice video looking for the next saludos
Really enjoyed this video with my checkride in 2 weeks. However, I was a little amused, when, talking about stress at around 12.45, you mention learning spinning and how it could help if you got into a spin on the base/final turn at 300'. Sorry, but, at that height, I'd challenge anyone who can say ANY recovery training is going to end up with any result other than a crash. IMHO, having taught in other environments to aviation, and having had this criticism leveled at me (!!), that you over-talked some of the answers. A real tendency that some us of fall into (as I said, me included) is to talk too much and we can end up saying stuff that's incorrect or opens up topics that, at that time, you don't want to go into. So I probably should thank you for reminding me to KISS!! :-)
I'm preparing to take my CFI checkride this month and this entire series has been outstanding, THANK YOU! One question, throughout this simulation, you as the candidate had constant access to your IPAD with your prep materials. Is there a rule/guideline or anything official that I can read that sets out what materials a candidate may reference during an exam, and how often then can access during the exam? I get that we don't want candidates looking in the books for every answer, but the other extreme doesn't seem right either. Thoughts?
You are smarter than you look. 😊😊. Just kidding, thoroughly enjoyed the full length video. That’s why I like your channel more and more. Hello from East Texas
This video is great and accurate for what will be on the oral but I would recommend not going so in depth to every question asked. for example, DPE: what are barriers to effective communication? CFI: confusion, over use of abstractions, interference, and lack of common experience. thats it move on, it gives the DPE less of a chance to really start digging on a subject that you might not be familiar with. And the DPE would rather have it short and sweet as well.
Agree to do that for your actual checkride but for someone studying for it, this is great ! Some dpes will ask for examples/details others will accept a short and concise answer
Really nice and helpful series for CFI check-ride, just passed mine yesterday, so excited and so thankful for these videos. Which airport you teach at?
Hi John. Because of your help I was able to pass my sport pilot checkride. Now could you please do one for private pilot. My PPL is next month. I don't think you did a video on it yet but i might be mistaken.
Interesting point about Maslow's hierarchy. They say that food is at the base of the pyramid and that if we are hungry, we can't learn/fly. I will make a counterargument on this. Unless your body is *starving* , meaning your electrolytes are low and/or your body fat has diminished to mid single digits, hunger is merely triggered by periodic rises in the hormone Ghrelin and may not impact learning. On the contrary, anecdotally speaking, skipping meals benefits my piloting. Often times I will not eat until 2pm on a flying day. I know this is also kind of wacky, but I drink *salt water* before flying. Not literally sea water, but 1L water with 1-2tsp of sodium and "no-salt" (potassium) mixed in it. The electrolytes stave off hunger, retains fluids, and requires less bathroom breaks. No, I do not believe sodium really impacts blood pressure all that much for most people who has a reasonable diet and exercises. Koreans tend to eat 2x the salt of Americans and they do not exhibit HBP in anywhere near the numbers (118/76 average for Koreans). I would also posit that when traveling XC to a lunch destination, if one eats a very carby meal with no protein (ie big bowl of pasta or fries), that pilot might exhibit more hazardous behavior on the trip back from fatigue. This might be especially true if the pilot's trip was an all day one with a lot of walking at their destination, the sun is beating down on them, and if the pilot is returning late in the day or the evening. I'm glad Jon mentioned protein bars since they are a superior choice for nourishment. Anyway, food for thought (pun intended)
You’re allowed any resource for the CFI checkride. In fact, you are encouraged to build a CFI binder that functionally includes everything in the ACS (formerly the PTS) because this is what you are going to use to teach your students.
Are you pulling all these answers from your head or are you allowed to have the outline of concepts there on your ipad during a real exam? Thanks Jon, I think this is a great video along with many other of your videos.
I watched this while making my bed, walking my dog and listened to them while driving. No doubt you helped me pass CFI initial on my first try. Thanks for making this series

Brake failure (I choose scenario)
Engine fire (I choose scenario)
Ground reference:
Turns around a point

Hello Ricardo, do you mind telling me who you took it with? I’m taking mine at KBUY as well and am assuming it is with the same examiner.
Was your FOI section closed book or could you reference your lesson plans / iPad?
@@PilotJames025 characteristics of effective questioning was the only thing I had to look at my notes for.

Passed my CFI checkride first time Jan. 6, 2020 at Venice, Florida (KVNC). The videos helped a bunch. Thanks!
Huge congrats on the checkride! Happy that it helped
Hi, congratulations, did you use any help like the iPad. Do you have to know all the FOI info ?
This series REALLY helped me. I listened to it in the car a couple weeks before my checkride. I passed the first attempt last week! Thank you so much!
I am a certified teacher and I learned many of this concept when I was in teacher training. This is why my goal is to be a CFI.
Hey John Ive got my MEI checkride coming up in hopefully three weeks. I'm going to watch all of these CFI checkride videos in preparation. Thank you so much.

With the domains of learning i would have liked to see more of an explanation of the levels for each domain.
You are smarter than you look. 😊😊.
Just kidding, thoroughly enjoyed the full length video. That’s why I like your channel more and more. Hello from East Texas
This video is great and accurate for what will be on the oral but I would recommend not going so in depth to every question asked. for example, DPE: what are barriers to effective communication? CFI: confusion, over use of abstractions, interference, and lack of common experience. thats it move on, it gives the DPE less of a chance to really start digging on a subject that you might not be familiar with. And the DPE would rather have it short and sweet as well.
Thats what i thought. My ride is tomorrow. I heard keep it sweet and simple.
Also damn all the answers right in front of him on ipad
Agree to do that for your actual checkride but for someone studying for it, this is great ! Some dpes will ask for examples/details others will accept a short and concise answer
Passed commercial 2 days ago let's get it!
Congratulations!
Really nice and helpful series for CFI check-ride, just passed mine yesterday, so excited and so thankful for these videos. Which airport you teach at?
Congrats on passing the checkride! We teach at our pilots up in Big Lake, Alaska!
Are you reading any notes on your I pad in order to remember key points like anagrams?
Hi John.
Because of your help I was able to pass my sport pilot checkride. Now could you please do one for private pilot. My PPL is next month. I don't think you did a video on it yet but i might be mistaken.
THANK YOU!
The question was , what is human behavior ? Or what are the theorie of behaviorism , because I think he did a mix between both definition
Interesting point about Maslow's hierarchy. They say that food is at the base of the pyramid and that if we are hungry, we can't learn/fly.
I will make a counterargument on this. Unless your body is *starving* , meaning your electrolytes are low and/or your body fat has diminished to mid single digits, hunger is merely triggered by periodic rises in the hormone Ghrelin and may not impact learning. On the contrary, anecdotally speaking, skipping meals benefits my piloting. Often times I will not eat until 2pm on a flying day. I know this is also kind of wacky, but I drink *salt water* before flying. Not literally sea water, but 1L water with 1-2tsp of sodium and "no-salt" (potassium) mixed in it. The electrolytes stave off hunger, retains fluids, and requires less bathroom breaks. No, I do not believe sodium really impacts blood pressure all that much for most people who has a reasonable diet and exercises. Koreans tend to eat 2x the salt of Americans and they do not exhibit HBP in anywhere near the numbers (118/76 average for Koreans).
I would also posit that when traveling XC to a lunch destination, if one eats a very carby meal with no protein (ie big bowl of pasta or fries), that pilot might exhibit more hazardous behavior on the trip back from fatigue. This might be especially true if the pilot's trip was an all day one with a lot of walking at their destination, the sun is beating down on them, and if the pilot is returning late in the day or the evening. I'm glad Jon mentioned protein bars since they are a superior choice for nourishment.
Anyway, food for thought (pun intended)
Amazing vid!
You're good at this. Ever consider pursuing a career in flight training and demolishing aircraft for educational purposes?
🤣🤣
Go BLUE!!!! Love it
Go Blue!!!
Series is really only good for the FOI portion of the checkride
Question, can you have notes on an ipad like him during the real exam ?
Thanks
Where can I find the document you were reading on your iPad? Was it the FOI or AIH, or personal notes? If it is payware, I’ll buy it.
So the iPad has all the answers and the applicant just reads the answers.
Anyway we can get that?
You’re allowed any resource for the CFI checkride. In fact, you are encouraged to build a CFI binder that functionally includes everything in the ACS (formerly the PTS) because this is what you are going to use to teach your students.
You are awesome for this
Thank you so much brosephhhhh
Wait 8 parts? In Canada we basically just teach a PGI for the oral.
If I had a $1 every time you said "SO"... I WOULD BE RICH... GREAT VIDEO SOOOO.
Can we do what Jon was doing here on our checkride? Using our notes to answer the DPE questions
Are you pulling all these answers from your head or are you allowed to have the outline of concepts there on your ipad during a real exam? Thanks Jon, I think this is a great video along with many other of your videos.
Exactly, starting my CFI and do I get to take my ipad with the answers.
No one:
Fly8MA: "SHORE"
Yes!
Thanks for the video. Any chance we can email you a lesson plan for review?
