About this episode
Thank you to the sponsors of this week's episode: Over the past few months the FAA has announced two new final rules, revised several Advisory Circulars, issued a new Advisory Circular, and we're still waiting on official policy to update for DPEs and ASIs. Join NAFI Board Chair Karen Kalishek and NAFI Program Development Manager, Sarah Staudt, your usual host of More Right Rudder, as they explore these rule changes. This conversation covers the removal of CFI expiration dates from CFI signatures, a new definition of the word "passenger", CFI recent experience options, the expansion of CFI privileges in Part 61, and many other associated topics. Check out the links below for links to official sources and NAFI's short explainer YouTube videos.
