What tough critics say...
 

Wherever you are in the World...
...you can complete a CFI Renewal in 8, 2-Hour "Live" Webinar Sessions without even leaving your home!

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 nightly from 2000 to 2200ET, Monday through Thursday for two weeks. The Webinar looks and feels like the Flight Instructor Refresher Courses 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. And 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 hour per day experience was far from being a waste of your time to simply to get your "ticket punched". You'll learn a lot, get inspired and take enormous pride in being a CFI.

All for $129! And we throw in your Temporary Airman's Certficate at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!

"Live" FIRC

 

 

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.
All for $169! including your Temporary Airman's Certficate at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!

LOTS MORE THAN FAA MANDATED-

The FAA mandates that all FIRC providers cover the NEW 10 "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:

  • Giving an Effective & Useful Flight Review
  • Navigating in the 21st Century
  • Regulatory Changes & Publications Updates
  • Security Related Special Use Airspace
  • Transportation Security Administration
  • Effective Teaching & Building a Safety Culture
  • Safety Trends in General Aviation
  • Ethics & Professionalism
  • Pilot Deviations
  • FAASTeam & Wings Program

But beyond this AVSeminars intertwines other great CFI topics like:

  • The Skill and Art of Mentoring
  • Aeromedical Factors
  • Integrated Airman Certification and/or Rating Application (IACRA)s
  • Risk Management/Risk Intervention
  • 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.

All for $169!

"I've been to a lot of FIRCs through the years, both as a Chief Instructor for a 141 school and as an examiner and AVSeminars is far and away the BEST I've ever attended. I recommend AVSeminars every chance I get. They're great!"

"I have been a Certificated Flight Instructor for 27 years and have attended many Flight Instructor Refresher Clinics.
I attended AVSeminars FIRC at the World Class Banyan FBO at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. This was, indeed, the most fun and interesting FIRC that I have attended. Their presentation of the future airspace system and glass cockpit technology was outstanding. The small size of the class made me feel that I knew each of the other participants."

"My last renewal, with another company, was an online correspondence course. Dry and time-consuming. The webinar format combined the interaction and discussion of an in-person clinic with the ease and convenience of going online. Two years ago, I dreaded logging on and working through the endless quizzes. This time, I actually looked forward to each evening's session. I feel I gained a lot of knowledge and updated information, not to mention more contacts in the industry, without even leaving my house! I highly recommend the AVSeminars FIRC for your next renewal."

"My experience with AVSeminars has been outstanding, I had the pleasure to be part of both the "live" seminar and the "live" webinar, and I must say they are both outstanding!
With the webinar, it was a wonderful way to be "in class" without having to leave home.  I felt much more relaxed and able to concentrate on the subject matters, after a full day of work, it was good to be home!   I also felt as if I made some great contacts with the other instructors that were part of the webinar.Webinars are the way of the future and I am so glad that AVSeminars are able to provide this great service.  I highly recommend the Webinar for anyone who needs to do the FIRC!!
