Wherever you are in the World...
...you can complete a CFI Renewal without even leaving your home!

No...

We're not talking about the incredibly boring online, self taught, computer-driven FIRCs with the constant screen reading, confusing questions and embarrassing phone calls to the provider because you blew two consecutive and impossible tests.

We're not talking about the feeling of being locked up in isolation without being able to interface with another human to ask questions or get clarification on the material presented.

We're not talking about the constant fear that the wrong computer keystroke will either throw you out of the program or lock-in incorrect responses to the endless prompts.

We are talking about being part of a small class of "LIVE" CFIs who meet for a weekend of video conferencing that looks and feels like the Flight Instructor Refresher Clinics that you've attended at hotels and airports, but WITHOUT the travel, hotel and per diem expenses. WITHOUT the hard, uncomfortable chairs with the FIRC presenter droning on for hours putting you and your derriere to sleep. WITHOUT feeling like you've completely abandoned your family.

Webinars are a snap to use, fun because you can see and hear everyone else in the class and you can ask questions or contribute comments anytime you wish. AVSeminars Webinars offer the best of everything for the renewing instructor and ESPECIALLY the feeling that the two day experience was far from being a waste of two days simply to get your "ticket punched". You'll learn a lot, get inspired and take enormous pride in being a CFI.

"Live" FIRCs

AVSeminars "Live", in-person FIRCs have been heralded by nearly every CFI who has attended as the "best FIRC ever...". And it's not by accident.

We work our tail feathers off to be sure that each CFI who attends is treated with the same respect and consideration we all expect from leading aviation educators. A big part of our job is to bring CFIs up to date on changes to regulations, procedures and equipment while providing adequate time for questions on a one-to-one basis.

LOTS MORE THAN FAA MANDATED-

The FAA mandates that all FIRC providers cover the 15 "Core" topics. These are the hotspots that are considered critically important tools for today's flight instructor. The specific content of these topics is left to each authorized provider with acceptance by the FAA. The current Core subjects include:

• Technically Advanced Aircraft
• FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS)
• Sport Pilot
• Security Related Special Use Airspace
• Transportation Security Administration
• GPS Navigation
• Integrated Airman Certification and/or Rating Application (IACRA)
• Aircraft Operational Limitations
• Effective Teaching
• Safety Trends in General Aviation
• Risk Management/Risk Intervention
• Takeoff/Landings & Low Altitude Maneuvering
• Runway Incursions
• Pilot Proficiency Wings Program
• FAASTeam

But beyond this AVSeminars intertwines other great CFI topics like:

• FAR Updates
• Scenario-based Weather Analysis
• Instructor Professionalism
• CFI Legal Issues
• Endorsements
• Logging Flight Time
• Practical Test Standards (PTS)
• IFR Approaches & Procedures

and a whole lot more.

Check out the current daily schedule here.

There are 10 minute breaks each hour and you'll have an hour for lunch with lots of opportunity to interact with other CFIs to get new slants on effective teaching techniques.

TESTS?

Indeed...15 of them (5 questions each), following most of the learning modules. Too tough?

A SPANKING NEW LICENSE-

The moment the FIRC ends, AVSeminars begins the process of graduation and issuing the Temporary Airman's Certificate (8060-4) so that you leave with a great education, renewed inspiration and a crisp, new license.
