I want to apologies too all out there in the aviation community for my ranting and raving I like to say that after 15 years of struggle to finance my flight training including becoming a ground instructor seem to be afford less I wont say anymore I decide the signs from the universe say this field is not for me, and as painful as it is I must begin to tear down the websites and books it took me years to developed.

]]> Comment on How do I get a Ground Instructor Certificate by LARRY http://cfiacademy.com/courses/agi-igi/how-do-i-get-a-ground-instructor-certificate/comment-page-1/#comment-666 LARRY Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:25:31 +0000 http://cfiacademy.com/courses/agi-igi/how-do-i-get-a-ground-instructor-certificate/#comment-666 My name is Larry and I wrote this web site some time ago, telling about my experience as a ground instructor who volunteers my time a local aviation college in New York City. Though my experience with the students is quite enjoyable, trying to break in to this field is becoming more and more unbearable. The school that I been volunteering is not to willing to hire a ground instructor unless these possess a master degree, thought most of the CFI there has a bachelor’s degree. Most of the students I see at the school complain that many instructors don’t teach properly and skip lot of over important steps, which I do try to cover thoroughly. However, my stress is not so much the college as it is this entire aviation industry and believes me I would like to say this F@#K industry, but I keep this respectful. I tried to apply for a Master’s Degree at Embry Riddle, but was rejected to do a not so high cumulative average in my undergrad years in college even though that was 20 years ago, when I graduated and have made some achievements in my life. If I could afford the money I would have been CFI years ago. I even tried for the AOPA fun ‘n the sun Scholarship which I didn’t make. I will soon begin a job at John F. Kennedy Airport as a Ramp agent because that all aviation seems to be offering me. So, a 49-year-old college grad with an AGI/IGI handling bags? Be nice to those baggage guys handing your luggage. One last thing is I join the Civil Air Patrol to use my skill, but with time consume and depression setting in I finding it hard to be motivate any more I hope there are some kind word out there because man I just want to quit but then were will I be? Do what you love, I all way here, but do what you love and suffer? No some thing is wrong I just don’t know what.

In your case, seems like you already have well over 15 hours PIC in a multi engine airplane. So, yes, you do not need to do it again.

I became a CFI without this endorsement. So did my CFI. So did every CFI at my school. Different strokes for different FSDOs. Actually just found this from the Orlando FSDO:

It's NOT mentioned in 61.183 as an eligibility requirement. Also, 61.31 has changed the time span for prerequisite training in preparation for a practical test from 60 days to 2 calendar months.

Later I picked up an IGI--that was tough but very satisfying. Never used them much, but believe they have given me a much stronger knowledge of aviation. It's too bad writtens have become more expensive, but if you can swing it I'd recommend picking up the certificate. Got my AGI after the private just to learn more.

]]> Comment on Multi Engine Checkrides – DPE not required type specific LOA by CFI http://cfiacademy.com/information/multi-engine-checkrides-dpe-lo/comment-page-1/#comment-603 CFI Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:32:15 +0000 http://cfiacademy.com/?p=354#comment-603 LOA is required. It\'s just that it is no longer \"make and model\" specific. Now the DPE\'s are able to conduct checkrides in ALL General Aviation Small Twins (provided they have 5 hours PIC in the make and model). You may want to run this by with your local FSDO. I am sure this is a \"policy\" matter and therefore, I don\'t have a citation to present. However, I did verify again a couple of days ago, and this seems to be true at least in the SAC FSDO. LOA is required. It\’s just that it is no longer \”make and model\” specific.
