CFI online renewal experience
I live in Spain, and have used AOPA/Jeppesen to renew my CFI, online. Some good things, some not so good.
- "If you get caught up in strong headwinds, you must continue at the best endurance speed". Wrong. Simple diagram of power required/available versus airspeed will soon dispel that myth.
- "Once you turn from base towards final approach, the headwind will weathervane you onto the right direction". No amount of emails would convince them the folly of this statement.
- Admin - all OK. They assured me that a Spanish Notary Public could sign the forms, no problem. They were 100% right.
- It seemed like I wasn't the only one to contest Jeppesen's quality, reading between the lines. I will try American Flyers this time....
