Bear with me on all these CFI questions
I was curious about the process of picking up students from another CFI. A slight bit confused on how the endorsements work. Say the student still has a valid certificate and logbook (90 day endorsement) from the previous CFI, can they still solo on the other CFI's endorsement until it expires? Is their initial certificate endorsement still good, or do I need to cover all the maneuvers with them and give them one myself? And before I sign it for an additional 90 days, I would need to perform the required instruction with them, correct?
Also, a question in my oral exam book came up that said that I can endorse a student for a particular solo cross country without having provided the cross country training, given that I ensure the conditions of 61.93 (d) are met. However, 61.87 (o)(1) says that no instructor may authorize a solo flight unless the instructor has given them training in the make/model to be flown. Some of the other ones confuse me, because they make it sound like that is the case, or you can ensure that they have a valid solo endorsement from another CFI.
Regardless of the answer, what is the most prudent way to go about it? I'd hate to send someone out with a fresh solo endorsement from another CFI without verifying their abilites myself, but at the same time I would hate for them to repeat training they've already done for my sake if the FARs don't necessarily require it.
Thanks! Hopefully the questions are clear enough.
