Need to renew CFI Certification during the Government Shutdown
Asked by: ismertr 4303 views FAA Regulations
Hi. My CFI certification expires at the end of October. With the government shutdown (including my local FSDO at KAFW), what are my options to renew the certificate prior to its expiration? I have the necessary 5 students with 80% pass rate to renew my certificate. But how can I get it to the FAA? If the government is still shut down after October, I would assume I'm no longer a CFI. Which would mean another FAA checkride to renew. I can't imagine the government making exceptions, even though they caused the mess in the first place. If I take an online refresher course, will it still renew the cert even though the FAA is not operating? Thanks.
