CHIEF'S CORNER
Another recent conversation with a CFI
reminded me that ensuring we're accurately
recording information in our students' and
clients' logbooks is an important responsibility
that can't be ignored. The question posed was,
" How many endorsements do you give for a flight
review? " My answer was two, so he reminded
me that I also needed to sign off the ground
instruction given for the flight review as well
as the flight instruction and the actual flight
review endorsement itself. I had to think hard to
recall endorsing a flight review ground session
and I don't think I was able to identify a specific
instance. It's been a while since I've provided a
flight review to a non-CFI-and CFIs are usually
able to provide evidence of having successfully
completed a renewal of their flight instructor
certificate under FAR 61.197. So, I don't think I'm
looking over my shoulder quite yet but it's on my
list of things to ensure are completed at the end
of a flight review.
This complemented another conversation I'd had
with a colleague about logging ground time for
checkrides. He's a DPE and has written several
articles about the need to be able to document
where we've taught our students the information
required by the regulations for the certificates,
ratings, and endorsements sought. He's appalled
by the number of applicants who show up
for checkrides without any logged ground
instruction. No logged ground instruction, no
checkride, so document what you are teaching
your students in a way that it is evident they've
had the required instruction.
Speaking of personal proficiency, I am not doing
as well as I'd planned on that. Fortunately, I have
some vacation coming up and I've scheduled
some time for flying. As with many pilots that
I know, life gets in the way, but I am working to
correct that. Hope to see you around the pattern
at some point or maybe even out at that little
airshow in the Midwest this summer.
Fly safe!
