Product reviews for Airplane Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC)

I've been a CFI since 1977 and until I retired from instructing in 2024 I had always renewed my CFI certificate by recency of experience (exclusively AMEL, IFR-AMEL and ATP instruction given, about 34,000 hours). The information I gained from this course in the subject areas of aeronautical decision making and risk managment covered subjects that were not tought in the 1970s. I had picked up on certain aspects and acronyms of risk managent and ADM in various aviation publications, but had never before been formally introduced to those subjects. It was very informative.

Just finished the firc. I am an old 35 year FAA retiree with experience as an air traffic controller, instructor at the FAA Academy in OKC (ground, flight & course manager), flight inspection pilot in OKC & 2 tours in Hawaii. I thoroughly enjoyed the course in total, thanks so very much.

as always King delivers the best!!!

excellent

Outstanding course! Informative, thorough, and packed with practical insights. John and Martha are about as knowledgeable as you get in aviation! The content was perfectly tailored to re-sharpen skills and boost confidence. Highly recommend!

This was a great review, and I learned a lot. This really clarified information about drones and a few other topics for me. It also provided a lot of helpful resources.

As always, Martha and John present the entire course of relevant and densely packed material in an easy to absorb, friendly and human way. While some videos are noticeably dated, the course accomplishes what is expected of it in a great way. In particular: The onboarding and initial formalities including the IACRA process are excellently guided. Thank you.

Thank you for your attention to detail, thorough coverage.
Thank you for your quick technical support.
