Thanks.....
I've looked into another way since my post. I am in a Glider club... I may within 24 months apply for a Glider CFI add on rating. The AFG is a 25 question test for the glider add on.
One way to renew the CFI is to take the any CFI written test. Then, it appears take the results and an 8710 to a FSDO for the renewal. Is this acceptable?
Also, just to confirm, like the medicals, the CFI expires 24 month later on the last date of the month of issuance? So a CFI issued 5 April 2008, expires April 30 2010.
(yeah I've been out of it. )
If you add-on a CFI-G (glider) rating to your existing CFI then that will renew your CFI certificate for 24-calander months but it may be more if the add-on rating practical test is accomplished in the first part of the 4-calander month renewal window that I described in my prior post. But in any case, if you renew by the add-on rating for CFI-G that must involve a flight in the glider or it's not the practical test. The add-on CFI ratings may be administered by a Flight Instructor DPE, it's not necessary to use the FSDO for the add-on ratings.Thanks for the reply.... it would seem taking the 25question add on glider CFI written test with a FSDO visit is easiest since I may take the CFI Glider practical within 24 months.
When was the last FAA update on the CFI question bank? IOW, the ASA CFI test prep book for 2008 is $2 while the 2010 book is $15. No big deal... just curious...
My vote goes to GLEIM. quick and easy. Have them file it too, for a couple extra bucks.
I've heard good things about GLEIM. My question is this: How long in actual hours at the computer terminal does it take to complete their renewal course?
And, do other programs take the same amount of time? I think I'd be interested in the course that gets me through in the fastest time.
Does anyone know which on-line program will allow a person to get through the program the fastest.
Also, if you've taken the on-line course before, can you save the answer sheets so the next time will be even quicker and easier?
