The TSA has been on the prowl in Florida flight schools recently... pretty nice people... but down to business.

How many hours of dual given do you have? If you are an experienced CFI and are looking for a part time CFI job, PM me.

PM SENT although I am not experienced enough

Exactly, but a 30 second logbook entry sure wouldn't hurt if you misplace one of your copies, 5 years is a pretty long time.

Maybe my search failed but I didn't see a post up for this so I figured I would put one up for everyone.

Logbook or Record-keeping Requirements. An instructor must keep a copy of the documents for five years that are used to prove citizenship or make an endorsement in both the instructor's logbook, or other record used by the instructor to record flight student endorsements, and the student's logbook with the following:

"I certify that [insert student's name] has presented me a [insert type of document presented, such as a U.S. birth certificate or U.S. passport, and the relevant control or sequential number on the document, if any] establishing that [he or she] is a U.S. citizen or national in accordance with 49 CFR 1552.3(h). [Insert date and instructor's signature and CFI number.]"
