Seriously? I JUST renewed my CFI with them in August.

I literally did my renewal with them last month. Had the lifetime deal....guess I'll have to buy into something else in 2 years...

What a shame, I'd been using them ever since I stopped actively instructing. I always thought they had a pretty good quality FIRC.

Sportys is offering to do it for free. Just pay for the handling if you don’t want to take the trip down to the FSDO.

Isn't that just temporary though? I completed this renewal right before they shut down, so I'm good until 2027.

I guess I don’t know for sure. Website just says “now free.” I’ve been using American Flyers version. I’d switch to this if they went out of business.

Probably just going with AF in 2 years. Went with Ace years ago because their lifetime was $20 cheaper. Oops...lol
