Product reviews for Helicopter Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC)

Nothing new

As a long term King School participant and customer, I've always been more than satisfied with the King courses I've taken over the years.  In my experience, King Schools offers training that not only meets regulatory requirements, but is up to date and pertinent.  Each time I take a King course, I learn from it, retain it, and use the information in my day to day activities as a 10,500 hour Commercial Helicopter pilot and CFI.  Kudos to the King School training staff for allowing me to stay current and fresh.

This is my third CFI Renewal. I have taken the online refresher course each time and have noticed good improvements each time. The material provided is pertinent to the learning objective and provided me with information of the areas I need towork on to improve my instruction.

I like this course and always come away with new information and ideas but the downside of each lesson is you have to wait for the timer to run down to zero before it allows you to take the "end of lesson" test.  I often found myself finishing the lesson but having to wait for the timer to expire before being allowed to take the test.  Seems like a waste of time between finishing the lesson material and taking the test.  I would often go do something else and come back to the computer later after the time ran out.

Course classes were great.I liked having choice options for two of the courses and being able to pick the class that I felt I would benefit most from. The only other thing I wish there was access to was the full endorsements for the private and commercial helicopter ratings. The SFAR endorsements were very valuable. There was also other great resources to go get information for the flight instructor as well. Thanks you King school again! God bless.

I have attended in person FIRC's, and tried several online FIRC's over the years. King Schools is the only place that offers an online FIRC tailored to helicopter-CFI's. If you are dual rated, sure, you have other options. There are even some that will let you pay once and renew for life. But after taking the King Helicopter-FIRC for the second time, I can tell you it worth every dime! The quality of material, presentation, and ease of use make this one of the best FIRC's for any category of CFI. It's so easy, you can do the whole thing on your iPad!If you're a helicopter-only CFI, and you're looking for an easy to use online FIRC that actually presents material relevant to what you fly and teach in, without burying you in fixed-wing material you can't use, look no further.

Comprehensive, effective, fast approval.

Over the past 20 some odd years, I have been attending the FIRC hosted by the HAI at their annual convention and I must say, I got more out of this course than I ever did at the HAI's course. Maybe it is because of all the distractions inherent with a large group of folks packed into a room. Regardless of the reason, I would highly recommend this King FIRC to anyone who actually expects to learn something, rather than just punching a ticket every two years. I will definitely be back here next time! Thank you for such a professional presentation.

I cannot say how excited I was to find out that someone FINALLY created an FIRC course targeted towards helicopter pilots.  not only that, but King schools did a great job with the course material.  I actually learned new information and feel that it is something I can put into practice as I teach.  I would highly recommend this course over every other one out there.

Excellent delivery easily understanable
