Certified Flight Instructor How To Renew Certificate

Sep 29, 2018

Coming soon at Helicopter Online Ground School: a helicopter emphasized FIRC! Our application packet has been submitted to the FAA and we hope to get approved this year!

Hi, I'm Sarah Green with Helicopter Online Ground School. Today we're talking about renewal requirements for your CFI. I'm taking this right out of 61197. Unlike the other certifications, this one does expire after 24 calendar months. There are some things that you can do to renew it. One of those thing is, if your four out of your five students pass their practical on the first attempt, so you need an 80 percent pass rate, and if you can improve that.

                              The other thing you can do, is you can take a CFI refresher course that consists of flight, ground, or both. If you can show record of being company check airman in a part 121 or 135 operations, or if you’re a chief instructor pilot in a 121/135 operation, or if you just regularly check other pilots out.

                              Another way is, if within the next proceeding 12 calendar months, if you are in the US armed forces and you had a military flight instructor proficiency pilot check. That's a long word. It's good to know that the FAA does accept your practical to be in a simulator or a flight train device, as long as the school is an FAA approved course or training center. If all else fails, and 24 months has lapsed, you will have to take another check ride. You may as well just renew it.

Helicopter Online Ground School was founded by Kenny Keller in 2012. He is the author of "Helicopter Check-Ride", which made Amazon #1 best seller upon release. His online video courses include Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Certified Flight Instructor, and Instrument Pilot. Kenny recognized a lack of quality ground training within the industry and has created a video learning platform to compliment any part 61 or 141 flight school program.

All four of these courses are FAA approved for WINGS and appear on the FAA safety website as approved online courses.

The Certified Flight Instructor membership includes access to all of the Private Pilot and Commercial Pilot videos as well, giving the Certified Flight Instructor membership over 40 hours of video to watch. The courses include information on all subject areas, to include the fundamentals of instructing.

Each course includes both practice written test questions and oral check ride questions.

Members have access to a closed Facebook group to network.
