Lesson Plans

I'm still plugging away at Commercial flight, but on the ground school side of things I am starting heavy work on becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). Part of my curriculum in becoming a CFI is making lesson plans. With these lesson plans I will be able to, in effect, teach all of Private Pilot and Commercial Pilot Single Engine Land under Part 61. This is of course if I choose to start my own flight school after becoming CFI. Chances are I'll be hired by a pre-existing flight school who will have their own curriculum that I follow. Anyhow, creating these lesson plans is a great way for me to review and prepare to teach!

So, here comes the clarification paragraph, for those who are wondering where I am at. I have finished my Commercial Flight ground school portion, and completed the written test. I am finishing up my flight hours for Commercial as well working on the ground portion for CFI. Once I have my Commercial Pilots License, after taking my checkride, I will start on the flight Portion for CFI. I will be staying into the summer here at Hesston to finish that up.
