Also, when you go to renew your II when it expires in 2 years, you cannot renew it alone, you will have to take a SEL or MEL CFI check ride. We worked this stupidity all the way to DC and that's the answer we got. If your FSDO let's you take the Practical Test without the FIA test, it will get kicked back from OKC. This is the way it works, even though it contradicts the example about a Cessna 337 CFI. Oh well!
What needs to be worked on is the verbiage with regards to centerline thrust now with the newer EPE engines (at least for the F-18s - I'm not sure about the Eagles) and the language added to the NATOPS to bring it in line with other assymentrical thrust aircraft.
