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.

@BowTiedCFI I’d add making it easy to admit you’re confused. A student who feels comfortable saying “I still don’t get it” gives you a chance to try a different explanation.

@KarimElmahmoudi Haha the empty right seat adds a whole lot of responsibility to a 152 😂 That’s a pretty great memory to carry into the boating years.

@MidlandAero Let’s go! CFI prep is a whole different challenge when you have to explain the why out loud. Looking forward to hearing what clicked for you on the ride.

[Tristan @CFI_Storm]

@Nadallica86 Love that you’re keeping at it! Bring a short list of questions from your studying to the next lesson. Makes that time with your instructor go a lot further.

@Amy787 @VinceDavis @TeslaBoomerMama The visual cues are such a big part of it. Knowing the numbers on the ground and recognizing the picture in the airplane takes repetition. That’s a lot to absorb in those first few lessons.

@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]

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

@chams_builds Sky chickens 4L

@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]

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