“Don’t ever let it expire!” There is no better advice. Mine expired 30+ years ago. The effort I’ve expended to prep for my MEI is way more than 15-16 refresher courses would have been. Cheaper too!
Passed my CFI-A!!! Thanks a lot for your help!! I recommend your services to anyone getting ready for the CFI check-ride, the CFI check-ride was mostly ground work and your videos successfully explained everything. I signed up for your Patreon and saved a ton of money on ground instruction, this was the cheapest rating so far! Thanks again!
Hello Todd, your videos are amazing! Just had a question regarding 61.57(F). It specifically says you do not need to accomplish the one hour of ground but does not talk about the one hour of flight. While 61.197(2)(iii) uses the word or when talking about ground or flight training. Any type of clarification would be greatly appreciated. Again thanks for the awesome content!!
Hi Nelson - I assume that you are talking about 61.56(f) and that you are also referring to 61.197(a)(2)(iii)? If you have completed ANY of the CFI renewal requirements of 61.197, then you need not do the ground portion of the flight review. However, if you are doing a CFI renewal in which you are flying, then just ask the examiner to also give you a flight review when they do your CFI renewal. You can do both at the same time, as long as the logbook reflects that the examiner tested you on CFI stuff as well as Pilot stuff. Does this help? Let me know.
Thanks Todd! 4 years later and your videos are still providing a ton of value. Thanks for producing this valuable content.

Todd Shellnutt Sorry about that I think CFI training is getting to me 😌 I did mean 61.56(F). But you covered my question!
Thanks for the help, I am officially a CFI. WHEN ARE THE CFII VIDEOS COMING?
I reinstated my CFI during COVID by getting a CFII add on. Might as well expand my privileges while I was at it.
Do you need a biannual flight review as well?
Doings gliems right now it is a pain in the you know what lol
audio unreadable starting from 5:45 to 6:27. Sounds like an alien speaking there :)
I was going to report the same issue, but I will just second it!
What kind of demonic spell did you just cast on us.
I think I fixed what you are talking about!
