I let it lapse
I know about 3 lines down is a CFI thread, but alas, mine lapsed years ago. I know a checkride is the only way to get it back. Anybody taken a CFI requal checkride recently? I had the double I and MEI and understand with one ride, I can get them all back. Also, unlike a new CFI candidate, I can hire any qualified DE instead of a Fed.
I figured I'd take one of those recurrent web courses, go check out in a Citabria, and find a good CFI to make sure I'm up to speed. Surely one of you posters has been through all this, care to share your experience.
