The CFI renewal is always a PITB ao I was pleasantly surprised 2 years ago when I first used this renewal program and have just completed it again this year. Instead of slogging throught the same old FOI etc, this course adresses more real world issues facing CFI's and how they can better prepare students for the real world of flying. For instance, I have been flying a PC12 for the last nine years single pilot in EMS and when I first took this course two years it opened my eyes to risk management. RM has been given lip service and we have forms to consult etc but I agree with the statements in the program that our primary job as piliots is Risk Management and when that breaks down, it opens the door for bad things to happen. Thanks for an instructional and relatively painless way to renew the CFI.
