Default CFII Before CFI

It is indeed one of the problems in aviation today that we have

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?

What is it exactly that you have against abbreviations? I use them for many
things - even important things from CRAFT all the way to GUMPS.


Bob is upset that he didn't get accepted into law school so he's
taking it out on everyone else. You are correct that a CFI would not
make it very well if he didn't know common terminology.
