QUALITY AND VALUE

TAKE YOUR FIRC ONLINE WITH THE AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE

enewing a CFI certificate isn't the most fun
thing to do. But the Air Safety Institute makes
it easier and more enjoyable. Here are some
reasons to take the ASI course: No other course
gives credit for ASI online courses taken; no other course
gives back to safety; more CFIs trust ASI FIRC courses than
any other; no other course includes expert advice from
well-known CFIs; and no other course offers a two-year
window to complete training.
ASI's course offers a streamlined process for smoother completions. Chapters and
lessons track your progress. Additionally, there are video and content upgrades with
case studies built in. This course will make you a better CFI. There is no other course
that offers expert advice. We have the most comprehensive FAA-approved FIRC available, and only the ASI eFIRC offers elective topics you can tailor to meet your needs.
ASI is the most trusted name in aviation safety, and no other course can match the
quality and value of our eFIRC. Get the course that is recommended by Rod Machado
and Michael Goulian. See the website for more information or to enroll (www.aopa.
