Just did the FIRC from AOPA

Hi all,

Been gone/busy for the past few weeks and have not posted much but I did spend my weekend with AOPA and about 100 other CFIs from the Southern California area as my CFI ticket needed to be renewed.

I just thought I would say that if you are looking to renew your CFI, AOPA's program was very good, informative, and actually fun at times. There were a few boring moments but let's face it, dealing with the TSA is never fun.

Basically it is a two day course in a classroom type environment. Lots of speakers with presentations, questions, answers and so on. At the end of the course you take a little quiz. I don't think you can fail either unless you fail to attend the full 16 hrs.

Anyway, it was a great program and hopefully I will have my certificate in my hands within 120 days. If you are needing to renew and have a free weekend, AOPA is a good option.

That being said if you are looking for the cheapest option American Flyers is also out there with their lifetime renewal deal.
 
Yes, mine is up for renewal, actually by the end of this month. I think I'll go the American Flyers route, but I'm really caught up with training now. I'll try to get it done.

Glad yours worked out well.
