I am inching ever closer to finishing my CFI. I'm getting excited about it. I have a dozen or so potential private pilot students, so I should be able to get things going fairly quickly after my checkride. The last time I went flying with my instructor we did all kinds of landings and take offs, go arounds, and he even gave me the opportunity to take control of the airplane on a simulated botched soft field landing. On thursday we're going to do some private pilot ground reference maneouvers, and then all I'll have left is commercial stuff (an initial CFI ticket lets you teach private and commercial students).
I'm also taking the opportunity to hone my CFI skills with pilots and non pilots. A week ago saturday I went flying with two pilot friends in thier airplane and we did some instrument work. I'm not sure how much value I provided to them, but we had a good time. This week I am going with a non pilot friend.
I am also working on a logbook application using MySQL. CFIs have to record a few more pieces of information, and I have not been impressed by the commercially available logbook programs, so I am writing my own.
