Expired CFI
Ten years ago I taught CFI and CFII, but let it expire after I started airline flying. Flyingwise, I am current Part 121, but haven't flown a single engine in over 5 years.
Could anyone tell me what it would take to get my CFI again?
Is it a full checkride, like from scratch, or some type of abbreviated deal?
Obviously I'd need to do a fair amount of single engine flying to get current again, but I just wanted to see what the requirements would be.
Thanks.

You will have to take another checkride with an examiner or a DE. I am sure you are aware that it would be wise to go back and get current not only in the plane, but as an instructor. I would recommend reading the FOI again and other instructor materials. It would also be a good idea to do one of the online refresher programs with a company like Jeppeson. I used them at a fairly decent price when I renewed my CFI in January. It would be a good place to start for you. They do a review of most areas you need to know, and also talk alot about some of the new licenses available along with requirements to get them. They also talk alot about teaching methods and strategies for new and old instructors alike. Hope this helps a little!!!

Usually, a "renewal ride" is not going to be as rigid as a CFI intial. FOI's should not be required on a renewal (see the PTS), but it might not hurt to bone up a little.
Also, you may renew your CFI by taking a checkride for any rating on your original CFI ticket. Assuming that you had a CFII, a CFII ride is much simpler to prepare for compared to a CFI-Airplane. Most folks take the CFII ride.
Usually the examiner will go easy on you, assuming that your original CFI isn't 30 years out of date.
