Instructor Now Have Two New Choices When Renewing Their CFI
Certificates
The FAA has awarded AVSeminars its new 2 year authorization to
conduct Flight Instructor Refresher Courses and it comes with two,
new twists.
After a year of conditional authority conducting Webinar FIRCs,
the FAA okayed AVSeminars' request to conduct "Progressive Webinar
FIRCs". CFIs can now complete their 16 hour renewal requirements by
participating from their home or office in 8, 2 hour Webinars
conducted Monday through Thursday from 2000 to 2200 ET. AVSeminars'
CEO, Bruce Micek says: "The really neat aspects are that it's
'live', it has the same benefits of being in a classroom with other
CFIs, retention is better because of the 2 hour blocks and if you
miss a session it can be made up in another week."
Also requested and approved by the FAA is authority to conduct
"Mega-FIRCs". These consist of quarterly CFI Renewal Seminars held
in one location and transmitted to several other locations around
the world via closed-circuit TV. Each location has an AVSeminars
proctor and everyone will have an opportunity to participate in the
conversation. "Our Mega-FIRCs give us the muscle to bring the top
name presenters to our CFIs and opens a wide-ranging ability for
CFIs to gain incredible perspective," he added.
AVSeminars' monthly "live" FIRCs continue to be held throughout
the country with class sizes limited to 35 attendees. All FIRCs,
Webinar, Seminar and Mega-FIRC continue to be priced at $96 for the
next two months. This price includes the complete processing of the
FAA Temporary Airman Certificate. Flight instructors may renew
their CFI certificates anytime within four months prior to their
expiration date.
