I am preparing for CFI Initial and somewhat confused (well a lot confused). Went thru CFI PTS and started preparing Lessons Plans from scratch. Then took a break and viewed prepared lessons plans. Some are so detailed, they cover all PTS points, some are just main point to teach a student and do no cover all CFI PTS.
Questions:
- I am supposed to cover every PTS item in the Lesson Plan with the FAA Inspector/examiner or just how to do a task, for example Straight and level? Just like what my CFI did when I was training for Private ….
- If I am to cover every PTS item in a lesson, how would I remember them all without looking at a lesson plan at the same time I am teaching the lesson?
- If I am to cover every item in the PTS for a given lesson, it may take 2 hours on one lesson!!! That does not make sense either….
- Can I use slides with main point of the lesson for each lesson to help me cover all the PTS items?
I guess I am at a loss of what to prepare and what to present in the check ride. Please help.
