Once you have the CFI, you can instruct and get paid for instructing w/o a
current medical certificate. But your pilot certificate must be valid for
the CFI to be valid.
If your CP is revoked you can't exercise the CFI. The medical requirement
is a different issue.

Military airfields have security rules, particularly since 9/11. Some joint
use airports allow civilian traffic to ramps that are not military ramps.
Other military air fields may allow low approaches but not landings.

Can the base ops/ commander and get the procedures for each pace, it can and
does vary between USAF, Army, Navy and you probably will have to have
insurance waivers.

| 1) I've always been under the impression that a commercial certificate
| is required to get the instructor certificate, but once you have it,
| the commercial license is not needed anymore. This explains why you
| can still get paid to instruct and sign students off without a valid
| medical certificate.
|
| So if you were to forfeit your commercial pilots license, of if the
| FAA were to revoke it, you could still sign endorsements and do flight
| reviews. Is this correct? If so, whats the point of the words "Must be
| accompanied by pilot certificate #XXXXXXX" on the back of the
| instructor certificate?
|
| 2) On sectional charts, the tops of class D and class C airspace is
| listed as either [45] or [-45], meaning "up to and including 4,500ft",
| and "up to but not including 4,500ft" respectively. I'm wondering,
| whats the point of distinguishing between the tow? I assume one means
| basically "from the ground to 4,500ft", while the other one means
| "from the ground to 4,499ft". Whats the point?
|
| 3)Typically speaking, how do military airfields take to civilian
| traffic landing there? There are a few Navy and Air Force airfields in
| my area that I think would be pretty cool to do a touch and go at.
| Theres this one thats about 50 or so miles south of me called Lemoore
| which doesn't seem to be very busy at all. Heck, I think the tower
| even closes on weekends.
|
| They all say "transient traffic prohibited unless prior permission" in
| thr AFD, but how strict do they hold to that? I guess it's different
| from one place to the next, but generally speaking, if I were to call
| them up, will they laugh at my face? Will they be like "oh yeah sure,
| just call tower up before entering the class delta"? This goes for
| private airstrips too.
|
| I recently hit my goal of visiting every public use airport within a
| 100 mile radius of my home airport. Now I'll get started on the
| private use ones. 8)
