All,

Well its about time.   If you haven’t heard the FAA is now allowing former, and current military instructor pilots to take credit for their training and receive a CFI CFII MEI rating…following a simple written test.   YES…no FAA examniner rat tied to your face for a day of abuse and brow beatings.  I did the press to test on this and low and behold it works!!!  I took the test with the help of Sheppard Air gouge test prep….excellent  course that was spot on!  Yesterday I went down to the FSDO and made it official.  Now the FAA certifies that I’m cool! Only problem is they would not punch my Single Engine ticket because I never taught in a single engine aircraft in the Air Force.  I can’t figure how an F-16 dude gets to teach in a C-172 and I have to be in somthing that has more then one engine.  No worries though cause the SE add on is a local checkout with a DPE.  Then I can be just as dangerous as the viper dudes!!!

Cheers
