Anyway to 'speed up' the online 'log in' time?

(It's just that the FAA closes offices today and don't open till Tuesday) and my CFI expires 5/31).

Any insight is apprecaited!

I did it 6 years ago with AF and had the same issue. The 2 years ago, no issue. I was able to take the test as quickly as I could get through it.

(Hint, hint: you can cut and paste the material into a separate word document, so you can "study" before taking the test )

I know when I did it the first time, the timer would "time out" after a few minutes too, so I had to keep clicking back into the window to keep it going. Huge PITA. Maybe try a different web browser - I don't know. Not sure what was different the second time around but it sure was a lot faster. I'd also call them before they close this afternoon to try to get an answer.

It is a good deal though since you can now renew for nearly free (I've been doing the $50 Fed fee just so I don't have to deal with the FSDO). Good luck.

Nothing like waiting til the last minute
