Hello All

Sorry to continually bug you all but what is entailed in the flight test you take before you complete the FI course? How tough is it?

The test which is based on the PPL Skill Test, is to allow the FIC instuctor to evaluate if the candidate has sufficient ability to start the course.

How good are you PFLs and Circuits? by the end of the course you will have to be able to fly them accurately, and patter them.

It is more an evaluation than a test.

The pre-entry test is about flying ability. No doubt you have that.

Being an instructor is about attitude as well as flying ability. Yours needs working on (to say the least), judging by your comment above.
