New Rule Eliminates Restriction for CFI Flight Review Requirement
The FAA issued a new direct final rule, published September 16, 2013, that permits
an airman who passes a practical test for issuance of a flight instructor certificate, a
practical test for the addition of a rating to a flight instructor certificate, a practical
test for renewal of a flight instructor certificate, or a practical test for the
reinstatement of a flight instructor certificate, to meet the 24-calendar month flight
review requirements. The rule overturns a previous legal interpretation from 2008
which concluded that a CFI practical test is not a pilot proficiency check and
therefore not eligible to meet the 24 calendar month flight review requirements.
The rule was published as a direct final rule without prior notice and prior public
comment since it alleviates unnecessary burdens by expanding the exceptions to
flight reviews. It will go into effect on November 15, 2013, unless an adverse
comment is received during a 30-day comment period ending October 16, 2013. To
view the rule or submit a comment, go to http://www.regulations.gov/and reference
docket number FAA-2013-0780.

FAR Part 61…
• Pilots may take their original private pilot or
other practical tests in a multi-engine airplane,
in which case they will be subject to additional
experience requirements.
• A pilot certificate obtained in such a manner will
not include single engine piloting privileges
(ability to deal with a total power loss is not
demonstrated during multi engine certification).
FAR Part 61…
• To add a multi engine rating to a private,
commercial, ATP, or CFI certificate, the
FAA requires an instructor endorsement
and a practical test. A Knowledge test
(written) is not required. The practical test
includes a detailed oral test.

• Best Response
– 3273 and a half feet Sir
– But that’s with a new airplane and a test pilot
– And, if I start stopping exactly when the
engine fails.
– Besides, it pretty hot today, and my brakes,
tires, and brain are old.
– We better look at the chart and add a little
distance to the 3273 and a half feet!
Accelerate To Stop Distance
Accelerate-Stop Distance is the runway
required to accelerate to either Vr or Vlof
(as specified by the manufacturer) and,
assuming an engine failure at that instant,
to bring the airplane to a complete stop.
Accelerate To Go Distance
Accelerate-Go Distance is the runway
required to accelerate to either Vr or Vlof
(as specified by the manufacturer) and,
assuming an engine failure at that instant,
to continue the takeoff on the remaining
engine and climb to a height of 50 feet.

Multi Engine Climb Performance
• The loss of an engine in a multi engine
airplane can result in more than 50% of
its climb capability.
Multi Engine Climb Performance
• The loss of an engine in a multi engine
airplane can result in loss of more than
50% of its climb capability.
• Matter of fact, the loss can be 80% or
greater!
Multi Engine Climb Performance
• When one engine on a twin fails, you
typically lose 80% to 90% of your excess
thrust.
• Which means that if you were climbing at
1200 fpm with both engines, if you
configure and fly the aircraft perfectly
after an engine failure, you will likely see
around 200 fpm, which is pretty bad. !

• Witnesses near the accident site observed
the airplane in a shallow climb from
runway 8, flying low, with the right engine
on fire. Some of the witnesses reported
that the flames were yellow in color and
no smoke was observed. The airplane
then banked right and descended into a
residential area.
