CFI Renewal

[IP076]

What do you think?

Does a Check Instructor under 141 Qualify you for renewal of your CFI by 61.197 (2) (ii)?

Just curious, I would think it does, that "Position involving regular evaluation of pilots" statement.

Yes it does. The local FSDO will want to see a completed 8710 with the appropriate areas completed.

Why you are doing this, have you considered upgrading to a Gold Seal? It's easy. You need to pass the advanced ground instructor written and have 8 out of 10 FAA pass rate.

This site has good info.

Hope this helps!

CFI renewal as stage check pilot

I second the above. Moreover, many POIs for 141 schools require stage check pilots to fly with them before conferring that designation. If that happened to you, you might find your POI and ask him/her (politely) to renew you. Your ride with him/her should be enough for your POI to sign you off.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the Info...

Forgot about the 8710, better fill one out...

Actually, I don't work there anymore, but they wrote a letter with the dates I served as a Check Instructor.

It was a really large 141, 80+ instructors and over 900 students, all our rides were done in house, with the exception of the Chief Pilot and Asst Chief rides.

Our school performs the same Part 141 in-house stage checks and check-rides. We do have a couple DA's who work for our school.

The FSDO conducts a few 61 checks when we get too busy, and they ride along on occastion to ensure we are testing to standards.

Good luck with the renewal. It should be quick and painless!
