A Confused Pilot
Asked by: Mike 5344 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor, Helicopter
OK, so here we go.
I received my CFII in 1997 for fixed wing aircraft. I flew about 900 hours as an instructor and then do to a move I got out of the business and let my instructor license lapse.
Jumped ahead to 2009 and I decided that i wanted to fly helicopters and get back into the business of aviation once again. I joined up with a school and began my helicopter training. I completed up to and including my commercial instrument rotorcraft.
Later that year I also completed my CFI rotorcraft. This is the point that things get confusing for me and the regs are bouncing around my head. It was 07/2010 that I took my checkride for CFI rotor. I was told that by completing my CFI rotor it made my CFI fixed wing active again.
So, first question. Does completing a CFI rotor also reinstate my CFI fixed wing?
Next up, after completing my CFI rotor in 7/2010, I didn't do any flight instruction. I actually received a job flying tours for a year. I am now wanting to get back into flight instructing and want to know if I am elegible or not. It has been less then 2 years since I received my CFI.
So next question. Am I still able to act as a CFI and if so, is there anything I need to do legally before acting as a CFI?
Thank you so much for your help I am not a wiz with regs like these.
