2. (Sep 10, 2025) All online. Was notified and immediately scheduled interview a few days prior to interview.

What they are asking is if you can continue the approach if weather falls below minimums before the final approach Fix (which you cannot). If you are inside the FAF and weather falls below minimums, you may continue the approach.

8. (Dec 19, 2025) Tell me about a time when you had a difficult situation in flight.
9. Have you had accidents or failed checkrides?

If you had, again, make sure to speak up and DON'T LIE, they already know the answer for this question, as they can see in reports (like PRIA report)
I needed retraining on my instrument, private multi-engine add on, and CFI. All these experiences have helped me improve as a pilot to become the CFI I am today.
I let them know that I failed my Private 10 years ago. They just wanted to know why more than anything and how it affected my training since. I haven't had any failures (knock on wood), which made it look better. Do not lie. They will see it on your PRD.

I am a focused and professional individual who is friendly, helpful, and easy to work with.
