Fwd: "The Flight Review Requirements for CFIs have Been Revised " - FAASafety.gov

	FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education
The Flight Review Requirements for CFIs have Been Revised Notice Number: NOTC5069 An airman who passes a practical test for issuance, renewal, reinstatement, or an additional rating to a flight instructor certificate automatically meets the 24-calendar month flight review requirements, and does not need to accomplish the minimum of one hour flight training and one hour of ground training. This change has the potential to save CFIs time and money meeting currency requirements. The new rule was effective as of Nov. 15, 2013. Details about the change can be found in the Federal Register excerpt online at http://1.usa.gov/1iyW9Dn .
