Any ideas on a school for a CFI reissue near RI

CFI Re-Instatement? If that's what you are asking, I'd start looking for a DPE that you may know or someone you know, knows and ask the DPE what he wants for a CFI Re-Instatement ride. Mine were expired 30 years and found a buddy who turned out to be a DPE. It was a short oral refresher deal and an hour in a C-172. Before I flew with the DPE, I went up with a CFI in a 172 to knock the rust off. As I recall, I met with the CFI for 3 one- hour refresher flights.
