A little off topic. A few years ago, my elderly friend called me to remove a snake. She went to use her toilet and there was a snake coiled in the bowl. When I pulled it out, it was at least 10 feet long. I killed it outside. A week later, I got the same phone call from her. I had to pull...

We can't compare average 50 year old cars. A new 172 in 1970 was 4x the average car price. For the price of a new 172 in 1970, we are in Ferrari or Porsche 911 category. A 1970 Ferrari or 911 that was maintained similarly to a 172 would be far more valuable than the airplane is today...

Doesn't an applicant have to pass the flight review.? A sport pilot add on category proficiency still needs a second CFI to pass the applicant based on skills and knowledge. Are the standards different if you are wearing your DPE hat opposed to your CFI hat?

I 100% agree. That is why adding an additional category sport pilot endorsement to an expired CFI holder does not satisfy 61.199. This is where the whole debate came in. Can the holder of an expired CFI take a practical test checkride to get the lower rating of CFI-S while keeping the...

They way I understand it, there is no DPE practical test option for an existing CFI This is from the Sport CFI guide I referenced earlier. It applies to new CFI-S applicants only. The procedure for an existing CFI is different "Teaching a CFI-S is similar to teaching a traditional CFI...

From the FAA regarding instructions for Form 8710-11- Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application-Sport Pilot: Explains the scenario of a CFI airplane-instrument that wants to flight instruct light sport in a different category aircraft. It clearly indicates that it is a proficiency check and...

Okay, I will re-read all your post and see if I can piece together what is wrong. I admit that CFI operations are not well known to me. I am trying to understand how it applies to light sport because I am a cpl airplane with ppl rotorcraft currently operating light sport. For me, light sport...

It is okay to point out what I have wrong so I and others reading can learn what is right.

Okay, so a CFI can back step to a lower rating of Sport Pilot. I did not know that. For ppl operating sport airplanes, there is no back step requirement to get the lesser sport pilot rating. It is kind of like a cpl airplane trying to go back and get a private pilot airplane. A cpl airplane...

Alright. I have no idea what is involved in option 1. The OP stated he does not want to do this. I don't think option 2 would apply to a sport pilot additional category because it is technically not a rating. This CFI-Sport Guide...

This I understand, but this assumes a current CFI certificate. What about an expired certificate?

Yeah, that is how it works for sport pilot. Adding additional categories are not additional ratings. So when a CFI takes a proficiency check for an additional category of light sport, will his CFI certificate add sport pilot instructor to the certificate? That is different from non-instructor...

Very Good. Sport Pilot is a rating, but how does one go backwards if he already has a higher rating? With a higher rating, a private pilot or above just adds logbook endorsements, not ratings for sport pilot adds and privaledges. I have never been a CFI, so I don't know anything about how the...

Can a regular CFI also have a CFIS? This circles back to the original question. If a CFI is not current and does not want to renew the CFI, but wants to instruct CFI sport gliders- does he have to give up his CFI license to get a CFIS? I understand that a current CFI doesn't need a CFIS and...

What if the regular CFI airplane wants to be an instructor for light sport glider?

But don't people jack up the price because a famous person owned it? Why not jack up the price because a famous person wants to buy it since you know it will be worth more once they own it.

Keep him off the radar with Home Schooling.

It really is an individual thing. Just because a lot of others lack certain skill, doesn't mean others don't excel at them. I went straight from owning a Tomawk to a Turbo Arrow to a Turbo 21 Mooney, all with relatively low hours when transitioned to the next.

So for a sport pilot CFI to add an additional category to his/her CFI, it only needs a log book endorsement?

Getting away from the gun scenario and back to the original scenario. I don't see anything wrong with it unless the buyer grossly misrepresented himself to get you to sell it. Example would be that owner of an airplane doesn't want to sell it, but broker puts on a persona that he needs it to...
