    CFI - FAA Medical or BasicMed

    Congress authorized the FAA to create rules and regulations. But what I am understanding here is that Congress legislated BasicMed, therefore any FAA regulations need to comport with the BasicMed legislation. The FAA cannot make a rule or regulation change that does not comply with the law.

    Plane Down 20 miles from Bimini, Can CNN count?

    This is not a CNN phenomenon. And not limited to aviation either. Journalists are not experts, and get things wrong.

    Becoming a ground school instructor

    Sheppard is definitely "test prep" and not instruction. For me, after reviewing the questions, I can immediately identify the areas of the test where I am weak. That info is great for supplemental self instruction. I find that understanding the material, and answering questions correctly on...

    Definitely Sheppard Air for written. Don't waste your time with anything else.

    Becoming a ground school instructor

    IIRC, if its beyond 2 years since you passed your written tests, you'd need to take again. However, the FOI is locked in after you get your Ground Instructor, so no need to take again.

    Flight School Recommendation

    Chandler Air Service in Chandler, AZ (KCHD)might work for you. They do have their seasons, however, and can get busy. If you wanted to do it right now, might work. The Chief Pilot is also a DPE. I did AMEL & tailwheel there. All my instructors were top notch. Jerry edit:added link

    When do you have to fly a procedure turn?

    Pilot Training Question

    It does not matter what seat you occupy (as long as you can reach controls!). Nor does the type of instrumentation matter (G1000 vs anything else). If the CFI was current, and agrees that he was giving you instruction, and signs the logbook accordingly, then yeah, it's valid. Probably the best...
