Episode 66
Thursday, 25 June, 2026
The CFI-I check ride is designed to ensure flight instructors can safely and effectively teach instrument flying—but does the current practical test truly evaluate the skills that matter most in today's training environment?In this episode of the On Centerline Podcast, I share my personal proposals for how the CFI-I check ride could be improved. We’ll discuss areas where the current evaluation process may fall short, skills that deserve greater emphasis, and potential changes that could better prepare instrument instructors for the realities of teaching in the national airspace system.Send us Fan MailReceive early access to all episodes and support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2182804/supportYoutube: www.youtube.com/northwestaeronautInstagram: @northwest_aeronautTikTok: nw_aeronautWebsite: www.northwestaeronautics.com Music - Epidemic Sound: Go Higher - FLYIN Vegas - Onda Norte
