This one has me scratching my head, so I'd like to see what you guys think. It is pretty clear from this that a new CFI rating would renew/reinstate any expired ratings. This sounds similar to a flight reviews purpose to me.
However, I have a
chief counsel article that specifically says you cannot use a CFI ride as a flight review. The two seem to completely contradict each other. What do you guys/gals think? Thanks.
