Key Takeaways:

  • Flight instructors (CFIs) face challenges renewing their certificates due to reduced flight school activity from the coronavirus, making it difficult to meet checkride recommendation requirements.
  • Sporty's Academy is offering its comprehensive online Flight Instructor Refresher Course (eFIRC) for free to provide a convenient alternative for CFIs to renew.
  • The eFIRC is universally accessible, covers modern flight training topics, includes a new CFI Endorsement Guide, and offers an optional paperless renewal service for a fee.

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.
