Getting CFI current

[Slice121]

Thank you all for your help. It's been a long time since I've flown under VFR and I'm really looking forward to doing so. AAflyer knows what I'm talking about! Y'all have to keep in mind that the last time I instructed, Class B airspace was called a TCA and Class C was a Control Zone!! A lot has changed . Thanks again, guys.

Wasn't Class C an ARSA back then? Then there was the PCA and TRSA's too. The good old days when SA's had temps in degrees F!

I recommend the William Kershner books on student, commercial, and instrument instruction. Well written, easy to understand, great pictures and some cartoons.

Good luck and I hope you have some fun at teaching again.

Slice, you're challenging a 30 year memory here, but I believe you are correct. Was it the present Class D that was referred to as a Control Zone?

You mean the Sequence reports

That is true. The teaching points he wrote about have not changed. A good tech writer is worth his/her weight in gold.

I recommend that you sit through (audit) an initial CFI ground school. You may be supprised what you can pick up. Every time I watch a ground school presentation I always pick up something I forgot or saw a new way of teaching a concept. As Instructors we need to network more with other instructors. There is too much good information that should be shared for the benifit of all the students.

JAFI, the day I can't learn something new about flying is the day I will forever remain outside the cockpit. I know it's a cliche, but this business changes too fast for us not to be constantly learning. I plan on doing as you recommend because it's the fair thing to do to myself and my future students.

xdays, I agree completly.

You're close....

The present Class D airspace was called the Airport Traffic Area. Control Zones were the extensions to the airport traffic area. (The ATA was not depicted on the sectional back then like it is now, so you only had the dashed line around the airport if it was nonstandard, i.e. it wasn't just out to a 5 statute mile radius around the airport. At least I THINK it was 5 statute miles, anyway....)
