Skip Davenport Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 In addition, the revisions address U.S. military pilots qualifying for flight instructor certificates based on their military instructors pilot qualifications as well as refines and clarifies provisions for current and former U.S. military pilots to qualify for FAA pilot certificates and ratings. In a few days, the final rule will be available at: http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/rulemaking/recently_published Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llecrupwt Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 FAR 61.73 was ammended in August. Here's an extract of part 61.73. Quick version: Take the FAA Knowledge Test for the rating you want (Commericial or CFI), bring the results and the latest military check ride results to the FSDO, and you'll get the rating added to your ticket. BONUS: If you have an expired CFI rating, you can bring just the checkride results to the FSDO and get your CFI renewed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoejace Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Go to www.sheppardair.com for info on the new rule, test prep software, and an excellent rundown on exactly how to get the cert added to your ticket. I just took the mil-comp test after using their software and it worked like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoejace Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Walked into the FSDO a few days ago with my Form 8, written test score, and filled in FAA Form 8710. Walked out 20 minutes later with CFI CFII MEI certificate. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
