Just got CFII rating and still new to CFI'ing in general....about 30 hours given.

I have had a couple BFR's, and trying to get used to "feeling someone out" during the few hours I have with them to determine if they are safe and competant for the operations they usually conduct.

Evaluating someone that flys within 10 nm of their home airport for recreation and to take friends up and over their house, is obviously different than someone that flys for recreation and for business on trips of several hundred miles through different airspace and geography.

Any rules of thumb anyone uses to tell if someone is ready to be signed off for the BFR.......such as: Would you let a family member fly with them?...... can they go through ABC's of engine failure and put it down in a field safely?
