It is indeed one of the problems in aviation today that we have
Flight Instructors who do not read and understand the regulations.
We are NOT CFIs nor CFIIs....The FAR defines our certificates as
FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. In fact, the remainder of the FARs refer to the
requirement for an AUTHORIZED INSTRUCTOR.

I'm confused. Doesn't CFI stand for certificated Flight Instructor?
Doesn't
BFR stand for biennial Flight Review?

In many places, CFI stands for Chief Flying Instructor (often a role
specified by the appropriate authority as part of the approvals process) and
flying instructors designated as FI(A) for aeroplanes for example.

Having the word certified is a bit redundant because someone who is not
certified cannot act as a flying instructor legally.
