CFI-to-CFI Newsletter - Volume 14 Issue 2 - 8
If your particular flight training operation doesn't do this already, help put
a procedure in place where CFIs either rely on each other to help provide a
secondary check on qualifications or work with a senior CFI staff member
to develop a process that does folder audits.
This gives you an opportunity to correct or provide missing documentation.
It also might give you time to let the student complete missing experience
requirements, or at least give you time to notify the examiner of a need to
reschedule until the student completes the 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.
Get ahead of checkride day and avoid having that uncomfortable call from the
DPE that your student's test can't proceed and will need to be rescheduled. A
great tool to do this is the folder audit process.
I can't stress enough: Just getting a second person to look over your work
can help find missing documentation or experience requirements.
Make it a little challenge if you want. Serve as an auditor for your fellow CFIs,
and them for you. Put a wager on it if you want. If you find a problem with your
fellow CFI's students paperwork, they owe you something you both agree on or
vice versa.
WHEN TO DO IT
Don't wait until checkride morning to do this folder audit. Do it at least a few
days ahead of the scheduled practical test.
