Welcome to another episode of Flight Training the Way I See It. 

1️⃣ New FARs for Flight Instructors: We'll discuss proposed changes to the regulations, including the removal of expiration dates on flight instructor certificates. We'll explore the recency of experience requirements and the option of completing a Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC) for staying current. We'll also address the need for a path forward for highly active flight instructors engaging in specialized training.

2️⃣ Proposed Changes to the DPE Order: Discover the potential impact of proposed changes to the Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) order. We'll shed light on the proposal that DPEs should primarily conduct tests within their home FSDO jurisdiction and discuss its implications for the ongoing DPE shortage issue.

3️⃣ CFI Bootcamp in Las Vegas: Exciting news for aspiring flight instructors! Learn about the upcoming Initial CFI Class in Las Vegas, hosted by CFI Bootcamp. We'll share details about the location, Chennault Aviation Olay, at the North Las Vegas airport (KVGT), and highlight the diverse mix of participants.

Join us as we delve into the intricacies of crafting well-constructed questions and providing plausible but incorrect answer choices. We'll share insights into the time-consuming process and offer tips for getting it right.

And finally, stay tuned for our Pro Tips segment, where we'll share valuable advice for flight instructors:

🔹 Pro Tip 1: Self-Serve Fuel - Discover the essential steps for using self-fueling pumps at airports lacking fuel trucks and line personnel. Learn about grounding the aircraft and ensuring proper safety measures during the fueling process.

🔹 Pro Tip 2: Expert Braking Technique - Unveil a technique for achieving smoother stops by applying brakes equally, releasing them just before the aircraft comes to a halt, and gently reapplying them.
