Oh sure, flying airplanes is easy, but can you fly this: http://www.urlesque.com/2011/03/09/flying-man-jet-engines-wings/  When can we buy a few for the Corporation?  Congrats Robert!

If you're an Examiner you would bring your own projector too!

The flight portion isn't bad. It's the oral that you really have to be prepared for. Best of luck!

My oral lasted 6 hours.  Flight portion about 1.5.

There is little question that your ability to give instruction matters most.  You have already demonstrated required flight skills in your private, instrument and commercial check rides.

My exam was all day (OAK FSDO).  1/2 day oral and a couple hours of flight time.  We spent 1 hour on the oral on altimetry! I have enough knowledge on it for about 10 minutes.  :o
