Instructor Responsibility and Professionalism

In this installment, I will be discussing chapter 7 of the Aviation Instructors Handbook; Instructor Responsibility and Professionalism. I will cover the main aspects associated with this FAA required task that you are guaranteed to be asked on your CFI practical exam.

I think if I try to roleplay as Todd on my checkride I will pass in an hour haha, the way you get your point across and give purpose to these seemingly pointless FOI's is amazing and it has been a huge help so far, great videos.

I just passed my CFI Checkride. Your videos, explanations, and examples helped me so much. Thank you Todd. I most certainly used you as a reference throughout the checkride.

I can say with confidence that these videos helped me pass my CFI initial checkride today

Student at ATP Mesa. Todd’s videos are always super helpful and I learn something new each time I watch. Thank you Todd!

As much as I feel bored going through the FOIs as much as I enjoy your jokes and sense of humor. There is no way that I could enjoy studying such a topic with someone else. You sir and captain make me laugh and learn at the same time. We can't thank you enough, god bless you.

"Don't go to the edge of the sky!"- I laughed a little too much at that.... Thanks for these videos. I'm preparing for me CFI now, but have also watched your videos for pervious certs and they are a great help.

Todd, I passed my CFI initial checkride a couple weeks ago and it was thanks to your videos that I got through it! All the stories you told and the acronyms associated with them helped me get through the FOI portion of the checkride with ease! I just wanted to say thank you and I couldn’t have done it without your instruction! -Andreas

I'm glad you mentioned accident reports, I binged watched a whole bunch of aviation safety videos and I almost gave up flying because my whole outlook was "I'm going to die" definitely need a healthy balance.

I think the joking when a student pukes from motion sickness is to make light of the situation and help keep them from getting demotivated.

Hi Todd, this is Henry from LA. I passed cfi checkride yesterday on the first attempt!😄
I would like to say thank you for providing great videos. I first found your videos in youtube and ended up subscribing the patreon, it was one of the best choices I’d made.
I could see how to approach FOI from your videos and it worked!
Besides since english isn’t my mother language, understanding regs always have been a challenge to me, but your explanation helped me out a lot.
Thanks again and happy new year!

I pad: The heads down display 😂😂 Hilarious Sir!

[danieltmcrs]

You’re literally THE BEST! I don’t know how someone dislike any of your videos Todd! I’m revolted here because 5 people did that on this one. Come on man, I believe they’re crazy, minimum.... I wish the best for you!

[tywheeler]

These are awesome Todd. I appreciate your candor to make an absolutely dry subject accessible and interesting.

[mohamedhassane]

The most valuable videos on Youtube! I absolutely love the FOIs now

[AmericaProject]

Hi Todd, your videos are amazing. I started following you because of the regs videos when I did my commercial about 4 months ago, and now I'm using your 8 weeks to CFI while I prepare for my CFI oral! Great motivation and great way to explain things! I'm really enjoying it. Thanks

[TonyWings]

Your channel is very helpful. I got may CFI yesterday. By using the way to remember and explain from what you suggest. Thank you Todd
