Well I was always confused as to how there was an Instrument rating for gliders. How does one go missed approach in a Glider?

Don't forget Powered Lift! Get your CFI Powered Lift and you are good for another 2 years!

The motorglider has an engine, so maybe when they get down to minimums they start the engine and get ready to go missed as an airplane. My half-serious proposal was to have a multiengine glider that requires and MEI to teach so I can add more ratings into perpetuity. I do not think they exist, and that's the problem.

Default AmericanFlyers On-Line CFI Renewal?

Flight Instructor Renewal Courses - American Flyers

Has anyone done the AmericanFlyers CFI Renewal On-Line course recently? I have read some other info that one of the disadvantages of the AF program is that the pages or modules have "timers" on them that require you to spend a set amount of time on each module before you can take the test. Others have said that this is not true anymore, and/or there is a way around these timers. I'm not really interested in breezing through the content just to take the test, but, OTOH, if I have gone through a section adequately, I am not necessarily keen on having to wait for a timer to run out before I can take the test. Also, how is the content? How is the display and ease of navigation around the site/courseware? Anyone care to share any recent experiences with the AF CFI Renewal Course?

I'm doing AF renewal as I write this response. So far I'm having to wait for the timer to time out to take a quiz with each section. After going through the section I just put the computer down and comeback after the time has past to take said quiz. Anyone having any questions shoot em before I'm done......3........2.......1......oh too late so sorry bye bye then.(jk)
