3. Renewing your Flight Instructor Certificate via:
4. Activity (5 applicants recommended for a checkride 80% first time pass rate.
5. Action by an FAA inspector who regularly observes you as a CFI or DPE.
6. Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic – Renew within 3 months and you keep your expiration month! – There is a gotcha. You must have the certificate issued by your expiration date, if all you have is the graduation certificate and not a new temporary you missed it!
7. Renewal – You take a checkride that is a smaller version of any flight instructor certificate you hold.
8. Pass another flight instructor rating you don’t have. Example CFI-A held, checkride for CFII or MEI.
9. What happens if I let the certificate expire?
10. Reinstatement – You take a checkride that is a smaller version of any flight instructor certificate you hold, or take a checkride for one you don’t. Reinstates all with any checkride pass.
11. Continuing education – The hallmark of a great flight instructor. Not doing it will make you less relevant.

13. Someone who needs the money!, who is a teacher who happens to be a pilot, doesn’t fly unless it benefits you, charges a good hourly rate so they will be dependable (This may actually save you money in the long run)
