Hello Guys,

Well, fisrt, I want to thank you for your replies.

I made up my mind, so I guess I will do the FIC the next year.
These my reasons :

- I don't know how to keep current, so the FIC seems to be the best solution to fly without paying. After my CPL/IR course I don't have any more money for flying.
- I hope with money earned as a FI, I will be able to pay a MCC.
- I hope to share my passion of flying with students. Ok, sometimes it will be hard because everybody is different, but it will be a challenge for me.
- I talked to a friend who was FI and now he's flying for a regional company, he told me it is a great experience, because you will know your limits, and meet a lot of people.

However today my worries are :

do you think it is credible to be FI with only a CPL/IR with 200 total time, and I have never towed gliders, I don't have any others experiences...

Well maybe one day a curious student will ask me "what are your experiences young man ?"
"errr...cpl/IR, not airline, not gliders, just from school..."

Did you have problems like that ? (I'm 22 years old only.)

Thanks.
