How does a CFI maintain currency in instruction?

Maintaining currency in instruction means staying up-to-date and legally authorized to teach by meeting regulatory requirements, pursuing ongoing training, and keeping endorsements current as needed. A CFI must follow the applicable rules for flight instructors, participate in ongoing professional development to refresh and expand their knowledge and skills, and renew or update endorsements whenever regulations or training needs change. This combination ensures the instructor can safely and legally provide instruction and certify student progress. Simply flying infrequently, teaching only theory, or focusing on recruitment doesn’t keep the instructor qualified or authorized to teach and issue endorsements.
