CFI REFRESHER – COURSE DESCRIPTION

AVIATION SEMINARS has developed an FAA approved Training Course Outline (TCO) for Flight Instructor Renewal.  Our live classroom course is an interactive, dynamic experience that will keep you coming back for years to come. We offer over 175 FIRC courses throughout the United States and Europe.  As a participant in our course, you and the FIRC presenters discuss not only FAA required topics, but also the latest changes and training requirements that are important for every CFI to know. You will be involved in every facet of the course, and at the end, Aviation Seminars will process your FAA renewal application via IACRA that will renew your CFI certificate, saving you time from mailing or having to visit a local FSDO office.  AVIATION SEMINARS can renew your CFI certificate up to 3 calendar months before its expiration month – allow for a nearly 120 day renewal period.

Topics included in the course:

• Pilot Deviations
• Teaching Flight Safety
• Human Factors in Aviation
• FAA FAAST Team & WINGS
• Special Use Airspace
• Regulatory and Policy Changes and Updates
• Navigation in the 21st Century
• Loss of Control
• Technically Advanced Aircraft (Glass Cockpit)
• TSA Security Training
• Returning to Flight Instruction

Interactive sessions will also be included in the weekend, so that each instructor can be a part of the education process. These sessions include:

• Instructional Concerns
• Current Issues
• Instructor Liability & Professionalism

See you there!

Testimonials

I have been a client since the mid eighties. I am always pleasantly surprised by the consistent professional people and service I receive - Daniel
Just wanted to let you know that I was very pleased with the class. Bill Harms was great in presenting the topics. He explained several areas in a manner that my past refresher instructors avoided simply because they were not comfortable with math and science. After listening to his explanations and diagrams I feel it will be easer to explain some of the new tech equipment much better to students. Please let Bill know how I appreciated his presentation of this course. I will for sure be back in 2 years and hope he is still conducting them. - Steve
Just completed your CFIRC at Pensacola. Pat does a great job. I assume all of the course critiques were good, they certainly should be. That is a real grind, pitching the 16 hours, and setting up the classroom, and handling the administration, paper-work and all. A few years ago, when FlightSafety had a CFIRC at their/our Daleville Alabama facility, I was responsible for the course. I was not a volunteer. I had access to classrooms, coffee, doughnuts, projectors, and a roster of instructors who, like me, were not volunteers, but accepted the additional tasks as part of working for FlightSafety. And, as participating instructors, we/they could renew by sitting through the entire course but without charge. So I understand to some degree the effort required to put on this class. You guys do a good job. I hope all of your people are as capable as Pat. Just wish you had enough demand for your course in the Fort Rucker area to justify presenting it in the Daleville-Dothan area occasionally.Anyway, keep up the good work , and thank you! - John
Hi Dave---the Las Vegas FIRC was great as usual. I believe this was the 4th one I attended with Kim Barnes as the instructor. You are fortunate to have him on board. He is very enthusiastic and sincerely cares about his instructing which is conveyed to all of the attendees. - Ron
I would like to express my appreciation for your professional and outstanding presentation of the CFI renewal clinic April 16 and 17th. Since I retired from the FAA in 1999, I have attended numerous renewal clinics and must unequivocally state that this was by far the best clinic to-date. - Jack
