8710 question

When he went to take his checkride he had

1. a signed 8710 from July of 2012

2. A signed application through iacara from his recommending CFI from July 2012

3. All appropriate endorsements also from July 2012

4. A log of all training given for the rating

5. A signed current 2 month endorsement from a different local instructor 3 days prior to the test that included log endorsements for 2 hrs ground and 1.8 flight.

why was this not adequate to take the test?

I can't find a reg that prohibits it.


I'm thinking midlife is right and this was just the opinion of the people he was dealing with.

Another DPE might have been ok with it.

Definitely wouldn't be the first time I got counterdicting opinions between FSDO's
Or even between 2 employees at the same FSDO!

I had never seen this issue or even heard of this happening so when I started digging in the regs I couldn't find anything stopping this applicant from taking the practical so I thought I would pick all your brains.

Edit:
"I totally understand that the easy fix is to just have the new CFI that did the two month endorsement sign a new 8710, I'm just trying to explore this"
My thought is that if IACRA let them process the old application, it should be fine. They've done a pretty fair job of putting hard limits in there.
