Here's a question I know will come up - if you took your FE writtens years ago but have been continuously employed by a Part 121 carrier, are they still good? I think that was the rule at one time.

Here's a question I know will come up - if you took your FE writtens years ago but have been continuously employed by a Part 121 carrier, are they still good? I think that was the rule at one time.

They are good for two years unless employed by 121 carrier Aren't they? Then it's up to the employer as to whether or not they want to see it within two years. As a rule, having it up to date shows motivation and is a discriminator.

I attempted to retake the FE writtens several years ago and was told by the FAA not to do it; they were still good. Just wondering if this is still true.

As far as the FE written goes...

The decision to extend the expiration is at the discretion of the examiner for the practical test. The only mention of an extension to the FE written is in the PTS Standards, not the FARs.



Basically, it is a loophole. Most companies (FedEx, DHL, UPS) request that you have a Current FE Written by the time you go to class. I think it is easier than relying on the PTS standards and the decision of the examiner giving the checkride.
