I'm (finally) instrument rated!

If one goes and takes the CFII written shortly after the IFR ride, is there a time limit that they have to finish the whole CFII bit in? Or does the written score last 'forever'?

FAA written exams are good for 24 months following receipt of a passing grade. The exception is the ATP. If an applicant has been working in a part 121 environment and then wishes to take the ATP practical with the 121 outfit they were working for, a waiver can be issued.

Sounds like a great instructor. I'll bet you will never forget that.

You have no idea. That flight was with Johnny Carter, retired DAL captain who started flying probably in the 40s or 50s. He's a national treasure. Doesn't CFI full time at all but just helps out at our school to have something fun to do in retirement. He's so good I have made it a point to buy him lunch whenever he'll let me and fly with him absolutely as much as possible while he's still flying. The man is a complete treasure trove of practical aviation knowledge and best practices.

Thanks for the study tips.
