Went flying last night with the 172’s owner to do some practice on the avionics and landings. Dropped him off to see his daughter’s softball game and took the plane back to MSN. Lower clouds but really nice night to fly.

Looks like there is going to be some changes for CFIs w/ the TSA coming up. Look forward to more info from SAFE& #NAFI

Today during a club member’s flight review (First person doing what I am now calling Sam’s Comprehensive Flight Review) I passed 1000 hours total time.
Really happy. This came later than I wanted but still so happy.

Wo eine Sophie ist, ist ein Pilotenhorn meist nicht weit. Gemeinsam ist alles einfacher und so. Und mein Einhorn ist echt geduldig, es hört sich alle meine Lehrproben-Entwürfe ganz geduldig an.
Didaktische Reduktion ist gar nicht mal so trivial wie es klingt.
AVWeb posted a really good video to show all the new features of Safe Return on the SR-22 https://youtu.be/TrxhCK8rSl0?si=lv-UGm5Kl6mmteFD

WOW! Ok I am blown away but Cirrus now. In the new SR-22 they just added Emergency Auto Land to the G7+. So not only does it have a parachute it has Auto Land. That is game changing for safety. #CFILife #FlightInstructor

So since some have asked. Here is what I have been working on for a Comprehensive Flight Review. The target for this is club/lower yearly time GA pilots.
The idea would be to talk to the pilot ahead of time and fine tune but this gives them a starting point on what we would cover. (link to PDF)
Thoughts?

I have spent the last week redoing my Flight Review form from the ground up that I wrote years ago when I got my CFI.
I have added a few things based on the FAA's feedback to us . I renamed it "Comprehensive Flight Review" & also added a statement that "Ground and Flight times will exceed 1 hour each" to set the expectation that it will take longer than the minimum 1 hour of each. Skill = GA/Club pilots
I am thinking of sharing it here for feedback, thoughts?

A bit over a week ago I attended an FAA Safety seminar that was put on by the FAA for the CFIs at C29's FBO. The subject matter was flight reviews AC 61-98E & how CFIs incorrectly are not being evaluators but are being #FlightInstructor during the fight and that needs to flip. Additionally how CFIs are not holding pilots to the ACS standards & some just doing 'a few around the pattern' type reviews. They wanted reviews to result in continuous training It really got me thinking.
Sadly not shocked by this but having a PE firm own the app that I use every flight is a bit worrisome.

Does anyone know of a pilot looking for a partner in a high performance #airplane or twin such a Bonanza, Barron, Seneca, DA-42, Malibu in the #KMSN area?

Working on the CFII again. Hitting the books.

Ok I am going through and updating (to AC 61-65 J) my stickers for #CFI sing-offs and endorsements and noticed the #FAA has changed the He/She to They. It reads so much better.
Yes I make my own because I hate the ASA ones and the #AOPA ones are missing stuff. Not sure if they have been updated yet also truthfully.
Worked on relearning how to use the Sim at the airport. Good for Jordan as he got some free approaches as I learned.
Still really don’t know how to teach with it but getting more familiar with how the software works.
Time to start this.
Went #flying so far 2x this year. Not bad for being 4 days in. Yesterday was a ferry moving a #Cessna 172B from one home to another so it could have the annual done. Then today went around the patch with a club member who had not flown for 4 months and wanted CFI with to bust the rust off. (Pics from 1st flight)

Is there a really accurate #Cessna 172 for Microsoft Flight Sim 2020? The default ones really are not the best and need some serious upgrades.
