In talking with the DE on the field, he mentioned the FAA likes to have first crack at all CFI rides. Said it is not published anywhere, but, they have done this for about 5 years. And only recently have begun to enforce this idea. Allowing a DE to do the ride is no problem if they are busy I guess.
I found it kinda odd. Can anyone see an advantage of me going to the FAA office for the ride, other than the cost savings?
Or care to comment on this practice in general if it is similar in your area?
