Default Cost of CFI rating

Thanks for that. I kinda panicked awhile ago until I realized that two of
the figures I saw either included the commerical program as well, or were
for helicopter. *whew*

Everybody have a safe and inspiring weekend!

Spent about 5-6 hours polishing things in an Arrow. Apply your local rate.
A few ground lessons with my CFI. Most of them were him constantly asking
"why?" until I *had* to have a beer.
2 written exams, $80 each.
DE fee $400.

Lots of prep at home. I actually got the King CFI course. Pretty cheezy at
times, but it provided a few examples of how to present material. A couple
CFIs let me tag along on some instruction flights. Again, handy to see
different ways material is presented. Any "fun" flying I did, I did from
the
right seat to get used to feel.

Luckily, my CFI did my IFR rating all the way through CFII. DE had done my
commercial ride a few months earlier. So, they were all quite familiar
with
my knowledge level, or lack thereof.

You already know how to fly. They just want to see that you can explain
how
things work, and why things are happening.

Hey, all. Been searching around the internet trying to get a ballpark

cost
to add CFI to a CP-ASEL-IA. Anybody done that lately?
