I am good to go.
Because I am IR, the instructor test to that level of knowledge.
1.3 hours flight, 0.5 simulated instruments.


I had my BFR, IR, and CFI all come up next month. Luckily last week
the fires were so bad the airport was IFR for a couple of days so I
was able to get the IR current by myself. Now I just have to finish up
my FIRC and then I'll do the BFR. Technically I only need the flight
time for the BFR (the CFI counts as the ground) but I don't mind doing
both if the CFI asks. I wonder if I'll have to use IACRA to renew the
CFI or if I can still walk in the 8710.


Um, are you doing a flight chekc for the CFI of just the written?

I'm doing an online class. At the end you take the certificate with an
8710 (as I recall) down to the FSDO and they hand you a new CFI
temporary. Also, when you go for your BFR you can actually skip the
ground 1 hr by regulation if you are a current CFI.
