Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC)—Online

More Relevant and Interesting Learning
This FIRC moves away from reviewing the same topics that flight instructors learned as Private Pilots, and instead focuses on giving you tools to help pilots to be more ready to be Pilot-In-Command. You'll gain more insight on subjects such as identifying at-risk behaviors (and what you should do about them), coaching pilots to avoid deviations, and conducting a meaningful flight review—things that will make you reflect on your role as a flight instructor. We think you'll find this FIRC to be a breath of fresh air.
You're in Control
Prepare to conduct an effective flight review
You may take the lessons in any order you choose. Once you comprehend all the material in a lesson, you will be ready to take the lesson test and confirm your learning. Once you pass, start studying the next lesson of your choice immediately.
Renew Online Without Leaving Home
This FIRC is the first to incorporate a paperwork-free, completely online, renewal process. You will be able to complete the renewal requirements at your computer and you will receive your temporary certificate by email.

As a King Schools FIRC customer you have an easy, convenient way to renew your CFI certificate online using our certificate renewal service.

You may have noticed that the FIRC options for flight instructors have not changed much in recent years. Well, you now have the opportunity to try something new. You´ll meet your certificate renewal requirements just like with any other FIRC, but the KING course will make you thoughtful about what you can do as a flight instructor to make general aviation pilots safer.
You will delve into areas that will be interesting, relevant, and sometimes provocative. You will find this new approach truly refreshing, and we are certain you will find our alternative to be engaging, educational and fun.
A personal note to
Flight Instructors
from John and Martha
"Flying self-selects fabulous people. It is easy to become fond of them. They are competent, committed and persistent. They are also vulnerable to the risks associated with flying. These are not foolhardy people. They often just don´t understand the risks they are taking. There is a very strong need to help pilots gain insights that will save their lives.
We decided our FIRC should cover things like "Identifying and Changing At-Risk Behaviors." If you are like us, you often see scary behavior in your own customers. We hope to give you specific tools to help your customers gain the insight they need. At a minimum taking this FIRC will make you thoughtful about these topics. The best case is that if you are not already, you will become a strong advocate of risk management to everyone in aviation."
From your computer, iPad, or other mobile device, all you need to complete your FIRC is an Internet connection and a Web browser.
