Flight Instructor Autorotation Change PTS Effective 3-22-2016

Hello, I'm Kenny Keller, the creator of Helicopter Online Ground School and author of the Amazon bestseller Helicopter Checkride and I want to talk to you real quick about the CFI checkride change in auto rotations. And this is a pts change effective 32216 and the first thing I want to say about this is I remember we'll say maybe 10 years ago somewhere along that line they made a change to the PTS where they took away the fold down auto rotation. Don't be surprised if six months or a year down the road it changes again because there is the changes coming for the Airman certification standards where the PTS is going to be rearranged and changed and called the Airman Certification standards. So I wouldn't be surprised if it changes again between now and the time that the new ACS comes out. So I was just on the FAA website and I looked up the PTS Change as of 32216 and let's take a look at that. And so to re verify I got this from the FAA website, pulled up the PTS change and it shows the change right here 3222016 and although it said on page 8 this is page 8 but you got to scroll down to page 10 where it tells us an examiner may accept at his or her discretion a logbook endorsement in lieu of demonstrating these tasks during the practical test. This logbook endorsement must be given by a current flight instructor with a rotorcraft category and helicopter class rating on his or her flight instructor certificate that provided the training and can attest to the applicant's competence in these tasks. The following areas must be trained and documented in endorsement as evidence of instructional knowledge related to the elements common errors Performance and correction of common errors related to straight in and 180 autos. This logbook endorsement may be accepted at the discretion of the examiner provided the practical test is not a retest as a result of the applicant failing the previous practical test for deficiencies in instructional knowledge pertaining to the elements common errors, performance or correction of common errors related to straight in or 180 autorotation. So I'll go back and point out an examiner may accept at his or her discretion a logbook endorsement in lieu of demonstrating these tasks during the practical test. So again may accept so what do you think about these changes to the auto rotation for the CFI checkride? Put your comments down below. Let us know what you think. Personally I'm gonna wait and see what they do with the ACS before I get too excited about it, but let us know what you think below. Please give us a like and a share and we'll see in the next video.
