Hi everyone, :hiya:
I just finished doing the Gliem online FIRC (Flight Instructor Renewal Course) and have questions about two specific things.
I feel as if I should know this, but perhaps someone from here can help me. My questions are below.
My question is "Do I need to fill in my "Record of Pilot Time" after I print out the 8710 form? I am not sure if my current flight time / flight hour record needs to be hand written into the form after I print it.
This is the first time I've ever renewed my CFI and am not sure if I need the flight hour / experience breakdown to be on the 8710. Any advice?
The reason I ask this question is because on one of the course screens it specifically says:
" Fill out the Gleim condensed Form 8710 using the Complete Form 8710 button. This form contains only the sections of the Form 8710 that you will need for your renewal request, and a few additional pieces of information needed for your official identification document. "
2.) SITUATION: I am performing this FIRC from abroad (I am living in China) and have obtained a new (replacement) US Passport from the US Embassy in Beijing during my time here.
I see that on my Pilot Certifications ALL say "(my name)" however, in my passport, as always, has shown "(my name + Jr)" because I am Jr to my dad who has the same name)
My question is, should I use my "Jr," suffix on the 8710 for the purpose of matching my passport ID, or should I simply leave my name as "(my name)" on the 8710 in order to avoid any difficulties later (differences between what my current cirtificates say)?
All of my FAA issued Certifications have shown "(my name)" without the Jr, suffix.
Even via the Airman Certification lookup via faa.gov, my name is listed there without the "Jr." ending.
Second question to the above- Does anyone forsee any difficulty in validating or obtaining notorization of the printed 8710 if I enter "(my name)" without the "Jr" onto the 8710 due to my passport currently showing "(my name + Jr)" ?
I hope that these questions are clear enough to understand. If anyone can offer me any advice or help on this I would be really grateful. Additionally, if anyone has any questions for me, please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance,
