And that's exactly the type of instructor I would love to learn from, if I were a new student pilot (or even if I was a pilot doing my advanced ratings). On of my best instructors who was finally able to get me to master those power off 180 accuracy approaches, for my commercial checkride, was 92 years young. He was the chief pilot at Rochester Air Center.
I would have mentioned “Wake Turbulence, BrYan Turner-style” to see if that would get Christy to laugh. Great to see Martin participating. His perspective is always refreshing. Kudos for reiterating that a lesson has more meat and potatoes if the instructor has essentially been there, done that. The key for me is finding out why something does, what it does, the way it does it. My own personal fly-osophy. Combine that approach in a way with something the student has built a solid foundation with, and you’ll strike gold. Well done, all. CAVU ✈️😎👍
Thanks for a good overview of the challenges of completing an initial CFI certificate. I love that mid-life pilots are adding a CFI and sharing their experiences with students. A great point on the need for mentoring of new "hour-builders."
I agree with Christy regarding steam or glass. Start off the basics and then upgrade. As you do with navigation and flight planning.... maps and then GPS or other.
Christy - I agree with your 6-pack opinion. Will hopefully start lessons this year and definitely plan to stay away from the G1000s... at least initially.
Don’t forget those Ground Instructor tickets either. It’s the same information and any CFI/II should easily have it. Great review if you don’t. Instructing in the back seat of a tandem taildragger will really sharpen your skills.
I've been a CFI for 49 years, working on my 25th renewal. Back in the 70s, if you had a multi-engine pilot certificate, the CFIME was a freebie add-on, no checkride. I think it's sad that many that get their initial certificate let it expire after reaching a certain hour goal. Years later, they regret that decision.
I'm about to take my instrument checkride. About a month ago, I did my instrument cross country with my very competent CFII. We were in the soup for about a half hour and had an ILS down to about 700-800'. I got spacial disorientation and was afraid for the 1st time in a long time. I'm not sure I'm cut out for flying in the clouds. I HATED it. If my CFII hadn't been with me I'm certain that I would have been a flaming hole in the ground.
Watch our episode on Anxiety/Fear of Flying... if you exit out at the height of the fear, it’s a bad thing. If you lean in to the fear and exit out after, you can conquer it.
I've always thought I'd enjoy the act of flight instruction, but after hearing this I don't think I'd enjoy becoming a CFI. I've never been all that concerned with "why". I'm more a "how" kind of guy. I've been trying to get through "Stick and Rudder" by Langewiesche for over a year and can never finish a chapter because it's so dull.
Two engines vers one. Yes more expensive but not twice the cost maybe 30%, yes a little faster but sure a lot safer in the right hands, had many aircraft with three total engine failures in single engine then switched to twin engine with over 4000 in twin engine, no engine failures would never go back to single engine. Very safe if trained properly. Last aircraft piper aerostar 600a flight plan 214 nts 8000 ft, several Seneca 1,2,3, twin camanche to name few. By way piper aerostar 600A will climb at 500 ft per min when cleaned up on one engine. Christopher Ottawa canada
Hey Dan I went to the store site the other night after watching the test video to get a pilot shirt for a friend who is a FedX pilot but the only size it showed you had was small?
Good show I missed it live but here's my comments: Funny- uncontrolled airport radio call peeves :" uuuuhhhh Clyburn traffic airplane uuuuhhh 123 mountain vector is taking the active 15 for southish departure and uuuuuuhhh will stay in the pattern uuhhhmmm all traffic in the area be advised uuuhhh yep that's it Stephenville I mean Clyburn traffic " holds mic button for 30 seconds longer Arrogant: uncontrolled airport call " hawk 3 Mike Victor 10 mile final."

I *VEHEMENTLY* disagree with anyone who says it's ok to start off with fancy glass cockpits. As Christie correctly pointed out, the "basics" are extremely important. Basic stick and rudder skills and six pack instrumentation should be mandatory, at the private pilot level. Otherwise you get totally incompetent "button-pusher" pilots, like those on *Air France 447!!*
I *VEHEMENTLY* disagree with anyone who says that it's ok to start off with fancy glass cockpits!! As Christie said, the basics are EXTREMELY important. Otherwise you get button pushers like the ones on *AIR FRANCE 447* who are shockingly bad pilots, incapable of flying an airplane if the automation suddenly fails! Basic stick and rudder, and six pack should be mandatory, at the private pilot level!!
Are you guys using acronyms because of time constraints? IMHO its lol. Can I learn by mail? Can you weed throught the fake diplomas from non-accredited countries? Can I learn in 8 hrs? Thanks for the learns. xo
A good buddy of mine w/ 32 years with TWA and 23000 hours retired for 20+ years just re instated all his ratings up thre CFII. @ 78 years young.

Great to have y’all back! Always good to see Martin. Thank you all for e perspectives.
Love watching you folks and I also love watching Martin.
Another good show, Christie’s right start with the basics. Dan, alway nice to see Martin!

You guys are so awesome 😎. Y’all are hilarious. I’ve been binging y’all and it’s awesome to see how Christie has progressed! Congrats y’all.
Thank you guys, wonderful look into your journey through ratings as well as educational.
Good info, thanks for sharing. Great show! Fly safe friends!
Great job as always
I knew Martin would be on ITH when I saw 70TB headed to DAL on Flight Aware!

I'm a pilot and I been looking down on people since 2004. I'm the best.
😂
God bless America long live the Republic
Thanks it was great, really helped me in thinking of becoming a CFI or not.

Great show guys. Love Christy!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
I resisted buying a t-shirt for the longest time.... I finally bought one so I can wear it on my vlog post during my airplane build.
Very Educative, love you guys
Thanks Emmanuel!
Turns about the Bravo! Skids to a landing! 😜
Haha! I get that reference. 😂
Hello Mr. President, I'm a pilot.
I've been a CFI for 49 years, working on my 25th renewal. Back in the 70s, if you had a multi-engine pilot certificate, the CFIME was a freebie add-on, no checkride. I think it's sad that many that get their initial certificate let it expire after reaching a certain hour goal. Years later, they regret that decision.
I like the comment that Christy starts all her students off with a six pack!
The Pilot shirt definitely goes to Brian !

Start off with steam gauges every time. Not doing so is like starting out with GPS and not VOR.
The women is wearing some very unique trousers. It’s all covered in planes, I would like to have garments that has aircraft silhouettes
Multi-engine makes sense for flying over large expanses of ocean.
👍
What do you win for 2nd place????????

Why isn't Martin wearing yoga pants?
I know, right?
We all know why Christie is here. Imagine this guy tryna wing it is his own lol.

Hi Linda-- what flavor shirt was it? Odd.
