Regional CFI's

[silverfish]

Anyone have the answers to the American Flyers CFI Renewal quizzes? Yes, I'm lazy. Flame away.

 

[SLUF4]

why renew it if you're that lazy?

 

[LearLove]

apparently you haven't grasped the concept of opening 2 windows on your computer.

 

[Max Q]

I have them.

They changed the system last year so now no one will have the exact same test. Each of the tests is generated randomly from a question bank. Best thing you can do now is use ctrl N to open a second window then ctrl F to search for keywords on each page.

Do your FIRC through GLEIM. Easiest way.

Copy and paste into a word document

Dude, are you even trying?


C'mon man.....asking on FI is actually HARDER than just breezing through it with two windows open for notes.

Steve Sphincterson just called. He's with the FAA. He would like to speak with you at your earliest convenience about the status of your pilot and instructor certificates.

He mentioned that he was curious why as a CFI, CFII, and MEI, with very little time to have forgotten the information you learned in the accumulation of those 1200 hours you are finding it so difficult to muddle through a CFI refresher course that permits open book testing.

As he hung up the phone I heard him mutter under his breath, "Is this guy retarded?"

 

[GOULET!]

If you're a regional captain your FSDO will renew it on the spot without the refresher courses.

Unfortunately, this is incorrect. This is an issue that is interpreted differently in different regions. I asked this specific question of the Atlanta FSDO when I renewed last October and was told that an IP or LCA in a 121 environment can renew their CFI, but a regular line flying Captain can not.

It's worth the question to your friendly local FSDO, but don't take it for granted that you will be able to renew your CFI simply by presenting a stack of FO evaluation forms.

For those that that tell me to open another window. Yes, I do that. However, it's still time consuming. I have better things to do with my time.

Pogue- I signed up for this site about 11 years ago. Those were the flight times I had at the time.

Sluf- I renew because I paid for it and why not. If it can be as easy as copying a few answers down and a bit of paperwork, I might as well. Should I ever decide to use it again for any reason, I will of course brush up on a few things. But, since I have another job, and don't plan on using it at all in the near future, I will continue to take the easiest road possible.

Thanks to everyone else who has PM'd me and Max.

They did it in ATL for many years, but stopped I believe in 2006 for some reason. I got mine renewed 3 or 4 times through them, then had to do start using FIRCs.
