Getting CFI current

[xdays]

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.

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'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....)
