I Have to Renew my CFI

[@andrewt5688]

Oh man, if the examiner would approve, I think recording the checkride would be some absolutely amazing content. I’d pay top dollar to see that; in an IMAX theater and everything.

Todd, you always are a great source of info! I did not know about the Wings aspect for renewal. Being I just got reinstated, not needing for a while but that is a great idea.

Glad to help!

[@naethepilot1937]

Thank you I will keep watching your 10 days video

[@ToddShellnuttCPC]

Awesome! Thank you!

I love this idea, I’m looking forward to seeing this!

Just to be pedantic, the "2022" on your printed copy of the FAR/AIM is pure marketing. The CFRs and Federal Register operate on a rolling release basis, not fixed annual versioning; thus print copies are at best only strictly valid for a single day, several weeks before the date they are printed. Details are on the publisher page. For my old ASA "2019 FAR/AIM", shipped in July 2018: page ii, "This publication contains current regulations as of June 12, 2018. The AIM is current through march 29, 2018." (I generally use an electronic CFR, 2019 is my only paper copy.)

Can you clarify about the student you mentioned who failed- he did not have a lesson plan or he did not have a syllabus? As far as I understand those are not interchangeable. Any CFI applicant should have lesson plans to demonstrate how they will teach but syllabi are usually provided by the school, and you should adhere to their parameters if they have specifics. I'm not exactly sure what you mean on this, but otherwise great video as always, very informative

[@ToddShellnuttCPC]

The examiner wanted to see if the applicant had a syllabus in his possession, which he did not have, did not know how to create one, and was not aware that they were available commercially for him to buy and use as a CFI.

Love all your content - keep it coming! One question, though: why did you say the FAR/AIM 2022 is not pertinent until Jan 1? On the copyright page of the book it states “This publication contains current regulations as of July 1, 2021.”

[@ToddShellnuttCPC]

Great question - although some publications do state a currency date within, it is extremely common for most examiners and inspectors to look at the cover and say, "Well, it's not 2022 yet." Here again with the subjectivity. Now, with that being said, as soon as it is released for sale, it is out of date. Although the regs of part 61 and 91 do not change as much, the AIM changes quite often. You can also see inside of the front cover that the AIM was only current through June 17, 2021.

[@dzboarder]

@@ToddShellnuttCPC Gotcha, thanks for the response. Well, I guess there is a lesson to learn here: better to bite my tongue than attempt to correct the examiner on publication currency 😀
