CFI NOTES
DID YOU KNOW? (CONTINUED)
IT'S A GOOD THING
Thousands of CFIs renew their certificates every year under
ASI's flight instructor refresher course (aopaFIRC.org). And,
so can you! Why? Because it is the most comprehensive FAAapproved CFI renewal program available and the only one that
puts all its net revenue back into developing safety programs.
And for decades, the two-day in-person FIRC has been widely
recognized as the best CFI renewal program led by expert,
knowledgeable, and engaging presenters.
If you're a flight instructor, aspiring to become one, or simply
interested in advancing your aviation skills for the love of safety
and knowledge, attend one of the in-person courses presented
across the country to train and network with other pilots and
flight instructors in your area.
But first, get to know the instructors and check out their
impressive biographies: Tom Curran, Bill Gunn, Penny Levin,
Jason Miller, John McGonagill, Christine Mortine, Wayne
Phillips, Joshua Tate, and Jeanné Willerth (airsafetyinstitute.
org/fircinstructors).
"I prefer the more focused, interactive features of AOPA's
live FIRC. I recently attended a FIRC near the BaltimoreWashington Airport. Bill Gunn, an AOPA Air Safety Institute
contract instructor, was in charge. Gunn took us through
10 mandatory teaching units, and then some. Good thing,
because there's a lot going on. We reviewed regulatory
changes, safety and decision-making issues, the nuances of
RNAV approaches, scenario-based training, regulatory news
regarding drones and other news that affects CFIs and other
pilots. Wouldn't have been the same if we were alone in a
room, glued to a computer screen!"

Note: Unlike other FIRC providers, ASI does not charge extra for processing
CFI revalidation. Also, allowing ASI to handle this detail will save you much
hassle. If you decide to take your renewal program paperwork to the local flight
standards district office (FSDO), be aware that you can no longer just walk into
the FSDO. You must make an appointment in advance and be prepared to go
through identification procedures.
