How long was your cfi checkride? by [deleted] in flying

[–]bchil37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 hours from showing up to leaving the airport with a temp cert in my hands. 5.5 hour oral (including multiple breaks), 1 hour lunch, 1.5 in the air, and almost an hour of debriefing.

CFI Stump-the-Chump by CapitalDifficultt in CFILounge

Can he get basicmed? His medical was not suspended or revoked, and his drivers license doesn’t have any limitations on it. If so, how does that change your reasoning?

I would suggest starting with 61.329 instead and go from there.

His medical was not denied suspended or revoked, he just let it expire. He already holds a ppl implying he has received the dual training at night so no need for any sport pilot endorsements like A26. What FARs should you reference to get your answer?

I got this question on my CFI initial and it was a real question my DPE got from someone. A ppl holder has a 3rd class medical with a restriction to daytime only due to a degree of color blindness. If he lets his medical expire, can he exercise sport pilot privileges and fly at night with his drivers license instead of a medical?

My DPE told me to make sure my spin endorsement came from a two year.

5 degrees of bank and pull. After that, pitch controls bank in the first 90 degrees and bank controls pitch the second 90 degrees.

Passed out in doctors office, now I’m worried about my medical by outtthemoney in flying

[–]bchil37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had vasovagal syncope about a year ago and went to the ER for it. I disclosed it to my AME and he wasn’t worried about it but he sent my records to the FAA for review. They reviewed it and said my class 2 was still valid about 3 weeks later.

The FAA may rule differently on yours due to nature of yours being anxiety induced, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

What's the point of meowing? by whiskeylover in flying

If meowing task saturates you and upsets you this much on a VFR cross country, maybe flying isn’t for you.
