CFI Training.... OVERWHELMING

Posted by squirrelpilot13@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 12 comments

I am starting my CFI training. I felt like I have been a really good student throughout my flight training, but now that I'm staring at the CFI ACS and watching video after video on CFI training, "You need to know EVERYTHING to the level of correlation", I can't help but feel like this is something that I will never achieve. Trying to start on these lesson plans is another thing that makes me feel like I know nothing already. We are supposed to make our own, but when I see what others have made, I have no idea how to get there, or how to even talk about all these subjects with just referencing bullet points.

I hope I get it figured out. I know I'm just starting, but I never expected to be this overwhelmed. I am all ears if you have any tips or tricks for successfully getting through CFI training.
