CFI-to-CFI Newsletter - Volume 14 Issue 2 - 7
Going through a checking process ahead of the practical test day can offer
a CFI an opportunity to see if anything is missing.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED
It isn't necessarily going to be a " folder " of material you are going to review.
But it might be a bunch of materials you collect into a folder or even a digital
record. The gist here is gather the information that collectively documents
the experience, tests, training logs, and endorsements that will be required
for a student to be eligible for a particular certificate or rating.
I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH: JUST GETTING A SECOND PERSON
TO LOOK OVER YOUR WORK CAN HELP FIND MISSING
DOCUMENTATION OR EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS.
For most certificates or ratings an applicant will need their knowledge
test, and you will have had to reconcile the areas found deficient on
this knowledge test and provide an endorsement to this effect. Another
endorsement needed typically indicates that you, as the CFI, have provided
the required training within the preceding two calendar months. There
also will be a couple of endorsements from AC61.65H for the particular
certificate or rating. You will have to audit your student's logbook to make
sure all of the required experience has been completed in accordance with
the applicable section of the FARs. And, one of the most commonly forgotten
things-there needs to be logged ground instruction.
If any of these are missing, the DPE will likely have to tell your student
they will need to be rescheduled. This is especially true if you aren't there to
quickly fix something missed.
Checking this ahead of time can avoid this heartbreak for your student;
imagine this to happen on the best weather day in some time.
A good, savvy CFI will have a checklist they can refer to when preparing a
qualifications folder for their student. Even with this, have a second CFI-
especially a senior one who has done this for a while-check over what you
have prepared to help find any missing information.
WHO CAN DO IT
The good news here is that you don't need any special qualifications to do
a " folder audit. " That means you can reach out to any other fellow CFI who
is familiar with the training requirements for the particular certificate or
rating you are trying to help a student finish. In larger operations, there may
even be a designated person who does all the folder audits. If there isn't, I
can't help but think, shouldn't there be?
