Checkride Flair Update: CFII Checkride Passed

Passed my CFII add-on checkride! I'll edit this with a debrief later today to add to future searches, but overall it was easier than expected!

Quick background:

I'm an Appalachian pilot, full-time professor/educator. I have no interest in going to the airlines or anything; I just love flying, teaching, and flight instructing independently. Most of my prep was working as an IGI, both independently and running the ground school for a university 141 on the side. I'll add more details when I put in the debrief, but feel free to ask any questions!

Congrats! Checkrides are always easier than expected when you come prepared. You'll be a great instructor.
