NAFI Provides Updated Endorsement for Student Sign-offs
The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) has
released an updated logbook endorsement for instructors to use when
signing their students off for practical tests.
The new endorsement addresses FAR part 61.39, which previously
required three hours of training within the preceding "60 days"
from an authorized instructor prior to signoff for a practical
test. That regulation changed on October 20, 2009, to require the
training be received within the preceding "two calendar
months."
NAFI submitted proposed endorsement language to the FAA for
confirmation that it meets the requirements of the current 14 CFR
Part 61.39(a)(6)(i). In an example of how industry and the FAA work
together to provide important information and service to the
aviation community, the endorsement was approved by the FAA at last
week's 2010 EAA/FAA Winter Meeting at the EAA Headquarters in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
NAFI recommends instructors use the following endorsement when
they sign-off students for practical tests:
I certify that {First name, MI, Last name} has received the
training as required by section 61.39(a)(6)(i) within the preceding
two calendar months and have determined that {he/she} is prepared
for the [insert applicable test] practical test.
[DATE] Instructor name, CFI number, CFI Expiration Date.
Test examples to insert:
- Sport Pilot
- Recreational Pilot
- Private Pilot
- Instrument Pilot
- Commercial Pilot
- Flight Instructor
- Flight Instructor Instrument
- Multi-Engine Pilot
- Multi-Engine Instructor
