FAA Proposes Rule To Remove Instructor Certificate Expiration Date
The FAA has proposed a rule that would remove the 24-month expiration date on flight instructor certificates and instead establish 24-month recent experience requirements. (www.avweb.com) Más...Yes agreed. I let mine lapse due to the "hassle of have to re-up every 2 years whether I had students and checkrides or not.
This is a great idea.
And while they're at it, let's DITCH the biometric enhanced driver's licenses for Big Brother surveillance. LESS GOVERNMENT IS BETTER!
This is really a bad idea. Imagine taking expiration date from drivers licenses. How can one verify the holder dies not have an expired license. Same with a flight instructor. How am I going to verify the instruction I will be receiving is going to be legal if the instructors license is expired.
I’m a believer, based on past experiences, that with the FAA, if they mess with the rules, it’s going to get more complicated, restrictive, subjective and harder to navigate.
My vote, much like the PTS, is to leave it alone but, the ball is rolling so no such luck.
