Über diesen Titel
What’s it really like to take a CFII (Instrument Instructor) checkride?
In this episode of Flight Tales, we sit down with Chaun Kraus fresh off passing his CFII checkride to break down the full experience — from the oral exam to the flight, the mistakes, the nerves, and the lessons learned along the way.
We talk about:
The big gap between an instrument rating and a CFII checkride
Why teaching instrument flying forces you to truly understand it
IFR holds, wind correction, and why they trip up so many pilots
How examiners catch teaching errors — and why wording matters
Managing checkride nerves, snowballing mistakes, and self-doubt
Explaining complex IFR concepts in a simple, student-friendly way
Common regulation traps (alternates, approaches, and scenario questions)
Why thinking out loud can save you on a checkride
Lessons CFII candidates can apply before their own checkride
This episode is packed with real-world CFII advice, honest reflections, and practical teaching insights for:
Instrument students
CFII applicants
Flight instructors
Anyone preparing for an FAA checkride
If you’re working toward your CFII, struggling with holds, or wondering how to teach IFR more effectively, this one’s for you.
