Five

[Tango Eight]

That's the number of guys in my club that have committed to knocking out their CFIGs in 2015.

I was earnestly hoping that the number wasn't going to be "one", leaning very heavily on my club President and our board to try to make that number at least "three" and darned if I didn't get the phone call this morning that said "five"!

That's a lot of training to get done. We have a plan for that we can say a little more about as things get organized.

We're pretty stoked about this.

Excellent! Keep up the good work! And best of luck to the five candidates. Fred

For my ever pedantic readers, allow me to amend that to:

"That's the number of guys in my club that have committed to knocking out their CFIG _ratings_ in 2015."

lol.

Our club got 3 new CFIG's in '14. Five would be outstanding. It also helps to work together. Feeling like you are alone in the whole thing makes it much harder.
The knowledge to be gained is the tough part. The "training" is little compared to prepping for the knowledge portions.
GO for it!

That's awesome. Hope you have a DPE who can give the checkrides!

ROTFLMAO......... Yes, you were good to "clarify" your original statement. ;-) Otherwise, some on here could envision "fisticuffs" on the flightline.....

Good show, I hope I can get current enough to renew mine...... sigh....

We had a DPE who was so authorized last year. I doubt there were any complaints, so I hope we'll be able to do that again.

That's good. Many parts of the country it is hard to find a DPE to do an initial CFI Glider checkride.

Evan, one of our members is an FAA employee/examiner that is soon to be authorized to do CFI-Glider exams too, as I understand it. Let us (FSA) know if you run into any issues with your DPE's availability.
