FAA Checkout
So a guy from the FAA wants to get checked out in one of our airplanes. Anyone out there have any experience/advice from a CFI stand point other than the usual make sure all the paper work and standards are met?

Oh God. Have another instructor do it?!
JK.
Just make sure he fills out the paperwork correctly and go over stuff with him like another renter.
If he's expecting any favors cause he's FAA - well, don't dish 'em out.

From the CFI standpoint, make sure ALL of the airworthiness paperwork on the aircraft is proper and any deferred items are done IAW 91.213.
Think of it as a compliment that the FAA would actually consider flying in your aircraft.

Ive checked out FAA and ATC guys before. Just cover your bases on paperwork and applicable regs. Give a really thorough checkout and performance paperwork. My experience is that they are a lot like cops. The rules dont apply to themselves just everyone else.
Its a good way to build good contacts over at the FSDO. You never know when you might need their help or advise.
