Spin training was a blast. Seeing what the airplane could do and how deliberate we had to be to get that trainer to spin was eye-opening.

Imo supervised spin training should be part of earning a private certificate. Experiencing it adds something ground study can’t.

@0xWest21 My guy thank you!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

In honor of getting my 1st class medical renewed today, here’s a quick refresher on FAA medicals. ✈️

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@Brownsideisup Let’s goooo!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@chrisclarkefly Really wish I had the funds to be doin sky art.. this is shweeeeet

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

Trivia: When the 12 months lapses, do you still have a 1st class medical with 3rd class privileges, yes or no?

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@chams_builds Sky chickens 4L

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@CCFOC1 That first angle really shows off the Raptor. Hard to beat that blue sky as a backdrop!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@CowboyShepherd2 The working lights are such a nice touch. That thing is taking over the whole workbench!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@KarimElmahmoudi Solo at 16 is a pretty special memory to have. What airplane did you learn in?

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@andrewkphotos That ramp lighting makes the E-6 look even bigger. Pretty cool visitor to walk out to!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@lloydhphoto That yellow really pops against Crown Mountain. The rotor blur makes this shot!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@chams_builds 43 and making it happen.. love it. What are you flying for training?

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@asherbphotos The 172 silhouette with the sunspots behind it is such a cool shot. Nice timing!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@Nadallica86 Glad they made that work for you! Getting back in the air and learning at your own pace is still progress.

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@CGInvesting10 Nice! Getting close to the commercial checkride or still building time?

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@nickrae Love it.. 90% of my CFII check was scenario based situations specifically with VOR service volumes and limitations.. DPE had me thinking for sure

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@nickrae How do you work scenario practice into the instrument workbook? Always interested in how people teach the decision-making side.

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@GulfShoresBOE Learning to fly with an instructor who went to your school is pretty cool. Congrats to both of you!

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@AviatorZone Congrats Leila! That first lap with the right seat empty is something you remember.

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@epicfltacademy Congrats Blake and Matthew! A lot of work goes into that instrument rating. Enjoy that one.

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@CFINotebook Control feel is a good place to start. Easy to get focused on the airspeed and miss what the airplane is telling you.
