Tonight we have a special interview with Bill English. Bill is a Commercial Drone Operator and a CFI who recently reinstated his flight instructor certificate after 6 years of dormancy!

  • Pilot certificates never expire (unless you do something warranting the FAA revoking it).
  • Flight instructor certificates do expire, but you can be renewed within 24 months.
  • 61.197 Renewal requirements for flight instructor certification.
  • After 24 months, your CFI must be reinstated by filling out the application and taking the practical test, which is a practical for any of the ratings on your CFI.
  • 61.199   Reinstatement requirements of an expired flight instructor certificate.
  • Bill discusses how he went about getting current, and the process he went through.
  • Commercial Drone Authorization for non-recreational drone operation.
  • Colleges and Drones and 333 authorization.
  • The future for drones, especially for commercial, non-defense use.
