ASA Flight Instructor Renewal Course

ASA's FAA-approved Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic (FIRC) provides everything flight instructors (CFIs) need to renew their flight instructor certificate for 2 years. From the producers of ASA's Virtual Test Prep series, the ASA FIRC features over 11 hours of professional DVD presentations, supported with internet-based evaluation and course tracking. This means participants don't need to be online for the entire duration of the course.

This course includes these important features:

  • Experienced instructors provide engaging lectures that coach participants in scenario-based instruction with real-world examples.
    3D graphics, animations and inflight footage ensure participants understand the information and can teach it effectively.
  • Convenient at-distance course brings the classroom to the home or office and lets instructors renew their certificate at their own pace, and in the comfort and privacy of their own place.
  • DVD instantaneous control lets participants pause, back up, or navigate directly to a specific discussion within a lesson.

A comprehensive review of recent changes in rules and procedures affecting general aviation and flight instruction ensure participants have the most current information, are aware of the FAA's areas of emphasis, and receive the most innovative instructional techniques.

The course consists of 16 lessons, 16 five-question multiple-choice quizzes, four 16-question multiple choice stage exams, and supplemental reading assignments.

DVD program contents:

  • Fundamentals of instructing
  • Teaching flight maneuvers and procedures
  • Transition training
  • Teaching flight safety
  • What pilots needs to know about weather
  • Human factors
  • Collision avoidance and procedures
  • Teaching aerodynamics
  • Regulations
  • Recurrency training
  • Flight information publications
  • Instructor professional responsibilities
  • Single-pilot IFR
  • Conducting flight checks
  • Primary student guidance from flight instructors
  • Teaching and understanding GPS

A spiral-bound coursebook that stores the DVDs includes a comprehensive syllabus so participants always know where they are within the course, and provides room for taking notes. Dedicated website features user log-in so participants can track their progress, take the quiz that concludes each lesson, the stage exams, and complete all the supplemental reading (ensuring they are using the latest guidance documents provided by the FAA).

Paperwork processing is handled at no additional charge; with ASA's ACR-approval, they issue a temporary certificate to qualified graduates upon successful completion of the course. Therefore it isn't necessary for participants to schedule an appointment with their local FSDO.

NOTES ABOUT ELEGIBILITY and ENROLLMENT

To renew your flight instructor certificate, you must be in compliance with 14 CFR 61.197 Renewal of flight instructor certificates, specifically:

  1. A person who holds a valid and current flight instructor certificate may renew that certificate by …A graduation certificate showing that, within the preceding 3 calendar months, the person has successfully completed an approved flight instructor refresher course consisting of ground training or flight training, or a combination of both.
  2. The expiration month of a renewed flight instructor certificate shall be 24 calendar months from- (1) The month the renewal requirements are accomplished; or (2) The month of expiration of the current flight instructor certificate providedĄ (i) The renewal requirements are accomplished within the 3 calendar months preceding the expiration month of the current flight instructor certificate, and (ii)…the approved flight instructor refresher course must be completed within the 3 calendar months preceding the expiration month of the current flight instructor certificate.

ASA must receive all your paperwork prior to or on the last day of your expiration month, and you must successfully complete the FIRC course prior to or on the last day of your expiration month or they cannot renew your flight instructor certificate. ASA will process your renewal within 2-3 business days upon successful completion of the course; ASA is not responsible for delays resulting by any mail carrier.

14 CFR 61.197 allows you to submit an application for renewal within 4 months of your certificate's expiration date and still retain your original expiration month. However, this FIRC graduation certificate is good for only 3 calendar months. Therefore, if your certificate expires in March, you could complete a FIRC as early as January 1, submit your application, and you would retain your original expiration date of March.

You cannot renew an expired certificate. The FAA refers to this as a 'reinstatement.' To reinstate your license, you must take a checkride; one ride will renew all the ratings listed on your expired flight instructor certificate. Although participating in a FIRC would be beneficial from a knowledge standpoint, it could not be used as the basis for your reinstatement. You do not need to take the Knowledge Exam again, to reinstate your license.

Not reccomended
by Jay Bradshaw from Gresham OR USA 

Pros: None
Cons: To much garbage on the tapes that was not related to anything normal.
Review: This was the worst study kit I have seen. No study information included, I had to search fo material to study on my own. Compared to Jeppesen renewal it simply stinks. I was able to renew my certificate with it but being in aviation for 50 years helped more than the study kit. the review should be to learn from it not a pass or fail. I wont use it again.

I would buy this product for my next renewal
by A Customer from narrowsburg NY USA 

Pros: Very good academics in most subjects. Refers to Web sites for additional reading
Review: We don't have internet capability at home so a FIRC that doesn't rely entirely on the internet is best for us. This course is set up so one can do the lessons via CD then take the quiz or stage test by logging on the website.  Previously we used the Jepperson FIRC but that is no longer offered, except on the internet.

Not terribly impressed
by A Customer from Zionsville IN USA 

Pros: It'll get the job done.
Cons: Answers are a little hard to deduce from the course material, even when you have the questions on front of you when watching the DVD's.
Review: I guess it will get the job done. I was hoping to find a non-Internet based course - like the Jeppesen one I took two years ago. This one requires both DVD's and then the Internet is required to take the quizzes (for each stage) and the tests (at the end of a series of topics.)

Informative publication
by John C. from Livermore, CA  

Review: I am not finished with product yet. It has been a very good learning tool for CFI renewal. I am half done.

Ask Your Own Question
On Saturday, February 28, 2009 a customer asked:
Q:
My flight instructor certificate was issued June 8, 2007. Regarding renewal, is it 90 days prior to the expiration date that I need to renew? I would like to start the course, and believe I would finish sometime by the end of April 2009.
A: You can get started on it right now and return it anytime up until the expiration date of the your certificate (June 8, 2009).  If you complete the course prior to March 8, 2009 (more than three months before your expiration) then your new expiration date will be the date you return the materials.  However, if you complete and return the course anytime after March 8, 2009 (three months prior to your expiration date) and prior to June 8, 2009 then your new certificate will expire June 2011.

On Friday, December 05, 2008 a customer asked:
Q:
Do you have a Refresher course(flight instructor) that is geared toward the rotory wing pilot?
A: This Refresher Course - and every one that we are aware of - is primarly geared towards the fixed wing instructor, however they can be used for renewal of the Rotory Wing CFI certificate as well.
