NEW CFI
THINGS I WISH I HAD
KNOWN AS A NEW CFI
IF YOU ARE A NEW CFI, CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME TO THE

regulations only define legal minimums here, not what is safe and smart!
Becoming an effective and safe CFI requires extensive initial mentoring
and a lifetime of continuing effort and education.

cogent) talking while simultaneously flying the aircraft. This demonstrates
your split-brain flight proficiency to the FAA examiner. But real aviation
education requires that you conscientiously do neither.
