Key Takeaways:

  • Due to the coronavirus pandemic reducing flight training opportunities, many flight instructors (CFIs) are unable to meet traditional checkride-based requirements for their biennial certificate renewal.
  • Sporty's Academy is offering its online eFIRC (Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic) for free for one year, providing CFIs with a universally accessible and convenient option to renew their certificates from home.
  • The eFIRC covers modern flight training topics, includes a new CFI Endorsement Guide, and offers an optional paperless renewal processing service for an additional $24.95.

Flight instructors are required to renew their certificate every two years. CFIs with a specific number of successful checkride recommendations during the previous two years can however, renew based alone on that record—but that may not be possible in the current environment.
