I hate to admit it, but I'm not sure which boxes to check on the 8710 for my
upcoming CFII checkride. *My* CFI is away for a couple days & I just wanted
to get the IACRA app filled out ahead of time.

For the initial ride, I checked Airplane Single Engine, Flight Instructor &
"Initial". Would this one be "Additional Instructor" ? Ugh, I feel like
I've failed my ride & I haven't even filled out the form yet... :-)

CP-ASEL, instrument, CFI

"additional instructor" and "instrument rating"? Strange that the 8710
isn't at all like the tickets themselves. BTW: Make sure you have all
3 endorsements (checkride, written review, 60 days).

The 60 day endorsement does not apply to CFI practical tests.- Hide quoted text -

No, in fact we had a CFI checkride scrubed by the DE because the
instructor forgot the 60 day endorsement.

Well then, the DE is wrong. There is no requirement. The requirement
is in the Part 61 FAR's under aeronautical experience (IF required)
for each certificate or rating sought. It is not required for CFI's
or ATP applicants, but is for all other certificates and ratings. The
DE's cannot make up their own rules. Your CFI applicant got screwed
because the DE didn't know the rules he is held to as a designated
examiner. The rules are not negotiable between FSDO's. An
application signed by a recommending CFI for another CFI applicant is
actually good forever and does not expire in 60 days like most others
do. FAR 61.39 (a) (6) requires the 60 day endorsement only IF
required elsewhere in the Part 61 regs.
