Hey everyone. I have a checkride tomorrow for my CFI and Im stumped on something. Here goes.

1) If a student comes to you and says "My old flight instructor cant fly with me anymore and I want to fly with you, I have a current solo endorsement and solo cross country endorsement"

Question: Would I as there new instructor have to go fly with them and give them new solo and solo cross country endorsements? Or could I just fly with them and check them out then let them go solo on there own? In the FAR/AIM it says an "Authorized instructor" must give them these endorsements and for all tense and purposes there old instructor was an authorized instructor.

I realized if there endorsements are older than 90 days old, id have to readminister a pre-solo written, and resign them off for solo and x-country solo, just not sure about if its not expired and they flew with someone else.

2) Also I know that the instructor who gives the ground and flight training for cross countrys is the one who must sign the student off for solo cross countrys, but does that mean that I also have to sign the student off for there initial solo cross country? Or does that just fall under the ruling of having some other authorized instructor reviewing there planning and signing them off?

Thanks
