CFI Renewals

If your Instructor Certificate is up for renewal and hasn't expired, you have several options available to you, each with their own advantages. They are:

1.  Take an online Flight Instructor Refresher Course (eFIRC)
2.  Attend an approved Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC).
3.  Take a practical test with the FAA or an authorized designated examiner.
4.  Present a record of training showing that during the past 24 months you have endorsed at least five students for a practical test, and at least 80 percent (four students) passed on the first attempt.
5.  Present a record that shows within the past 24 months that you have served as a company check pilot, chief flight instructor, company check airman, or flight instructor in a Part 121 or Part 135 operation, or in a position involving the regular evaluation of pilots in which the FAA inspector is acquainted with the duties and responsibilities of the position, and has satisfactory knowledge of its current pilot training, certification, and standards.
