these videos are awesome

People swear by Todd and I really like his teaching style. But man, I just wish he threw in some PowerPoint slides or something to help drive the points home. Edit: ok I found some videos with his power points. Going to join his Patreon now!

Under paragraph A, what is the difference between conducting a solo cross-country flight, and conducting a solo flight and landing at any other location other than the airport of origination? Aren't these two the same thing?

Limitations 61.113(i) (1) and (2) apply to private pilots with BasicMed but do they apply to pilots with regular medicals as well? I have heard instructors saying that these limitations affect all private pilots.

Passed CFI first attempt! Thanks Todd

The wife listening joke is hilarious! i will definitely try that one with my DPE

I have few questions I am sorry for the long comment I hope you can see this and help me understand it a bit more. private carriage doesn’t fall under part 91 and it’s only for part 125 and 135 companies who doesn’t want to obtain air operating certificate since they only going to have only few limited contracts and carry only certain people. Does that mean that those part 125/135 companies under private carriage goes through the same inspections and everything as a regular part 135 who is holding out and has operating certificate? And if no, what separates them from a pilot who buys his plane and provide private carriage to only certain selected contracts (aka wet lease)? And does dry lease always falls under part 91 since the customer is the one who always provides the plane? Last question is there a difference between having operational control of the AIRPLANE and operational control of the flight(aka PIC calling the shots on whether it’s a go or a no go flight)? I know I might be mixing some stuff up I hope you can help me understand it a bit more thank you

Good. Amazing videos. It would be great if you offered a digital version of your book as I study with my IPad. Let us know

Hi Todd, I have a question. Is training per 61.93(e) required for the 61.93(b)(1), 61.93(b)(2), and 61.93(c)(3)? Or is that training detailed in 61.93(e) only required for the 61.93(c)(3)? Thanks!

I just passed my CFI Checkride. Your videos, explanations, and examples helped me so much. Thank you Todd. I most certainly used you as a reference throughout the checkride.

Hey Todd, once again thank you for this video and this series. It is insanely helpful in tackling the seemingly overwhelming amount of information. With that being said, would you recommend showing up to a check-ride with lesson plans made for each task of the FOI objectives? I have heard and seen different things about DPEs either being okay with notes for the FOI section or not allowing any resources at all.

Never did I think that I would laugh out loud while learning more about FOI skills. Thank you so much for this!

Is it just me or was the cognitive domain kind of skipped and abruptly changed into talking about the basic levels of learning, then moved onto the affective domain?

I'll say it again, this lil' Johnny guy sounds legit

How do you pick your topics? Other than the ACS Areas & Tasks?

I have found that a great way to reduce anxiety for a student going through a check ride is simply to do several mock checkers with him prior to the real practical exam. Have him or her go through all the motions that they would in a real check right. In other words have them actually get the maintenance logs and show them to you in the mock check ride.

When i think of Maslows idea of SAFETY, he is referring more to the feeling of being safe and secure with your general well being. IE, u have a roof over your head at night and feel safe that you can sleep soundly at night. Imagine if you had food and water and a place to go to the bathroom, but you were homeless. You'd be stuck on the bottom of the triangle and it would be very difficult to get to the next level in the triangle. I don't think of it as a safe airplane. Yes we need safe airplanes, but that's not what Maslow was referring to.... I need a safe place to sleep at night, before I would be in the right frame of mind to consider Flight Training. That's really Maslow's intent of the definition of safety, as it refers to psychological human needs and readiness to learn.

This little Johnny guy sounds legit

I remember my FOI Written Exam, while on the subject of questions to avoid, used trick questions to ask the question. Edit: 36:42 EXACTLY!!!!

If an ASEL was adding on Multi class, would the 61.31d2 stile be required? I ask this in the spirit of a Student pilot who still needs a current 90-day for their practical test. Same type of deal here?

Watching Paint dry is more exciting?

3, 5, 7, 9 rule. Brilliant! You really make this an easy memory item now.

I have a dumb mnemonic to remember Lesson Plan OEEISC: "Oscar Eats Everything In Santa Clara." (I think I remember hearing that the dumber or more absurd the mnemonic the more memorable it can be haha.) Anyways thanks for making this video Todd- really appreciate your clarity with how you teach these topics. These vids have really been helping me study to become a quality, thorough CFI.

Very helpful

i wanna just make sure... i got a helicopter private pilot certification 10 years ago, i didnt take flight review. if i wanna get airplane private certification, i need to take flight review? or start from scratch?

Can anyone explain why someone would pursue recreational pilot certificate over private pilot?

Lesson plans are killing me. I know the information and can teach it fine. I just can't put it on paper to show a DPE

I’ve watched all your mock checkride orals and they’re all been very helpful, same for this video! Thanks for everything you do!

I'm glad you mentioned accident reports, I binged watched a whole bunch of aviation safety videos and I almost gave up flying because my whole outlook was "I'm going to die" definitely need a healthy balance.

Very helpful video, thank you

Can’t wait for week 3

Oh boy, new CFI ACS is published and will be effective May 31st!

Watching this April of 2024 because the ACS for CFI is coming out in May… almost 5 years late! Todd I hope you make an updated video!!

Are FOI areas strictly from memory during your CFI ride, or what format is used during this oral portion?

Should do a video on checking the wear via the hex bolt with the vernier gauge.

Thanks, Todd. Very helpful.

Hi Todd! Just have a question on 61.197(2)(i). You stated that your total pass rate has to be 80%. However, the regulation states that it refers to "those students." Does this refer back to the 5 students that we have already signed off? I do not see where it references our total pass rate, just the five students. Hope that you can help! Thanks.

Hi todd, thank you for your videos❤

So with just a CSEL without a CFI rating can receive compensation in your own plane or a rental if your doing a non-stop scenic flight within 25 NM of the airport?

Fantastic. Sincere thanks for the effort you put in these and for sharing them.

Todd, how do we log "ground training from an authorized instructor" as written in Part 61.185 (a) in using your course?

Thank you very much! Very helpful. I now know how to relate the example endorsements to the regulations. This was super duper awesome 😎

Looking forward to your course. Much appreciated.

Masterfully put Todd, thank you for your time.

Amazing video! Learned a ton, thank you TODD! Had a good laugh when you gave the fantasy defense mechanism example!

That makes no sense,they are 2 different animals.

Maybe i got this wrong but when you said “As a commercial Pilot you can hold out to the public, assuming you are not providing the plane and only piloting”. Would’t that enter to the category of air carrier and would require you to have a 135 certificate? Since you are holding out to the public with the intent of transportation even if it’s not your plane.

AMAZING!🎉

I’m a SEL CFII that has been out of teaching for a while. I recently got my MEL and am currently working on my MEI. I was looking for something to help me get back up to speed on all the instructor endorsements and logbook entries. I came across your channel and it is phenomenal!!! Your content is really well done and has helped me tremendously!! Thank you!!
