  • Hello everyone! It looks like I managed to squeeze in my renewal right in the nick of time this year. After several cancellations of my in-person flight instructor renewal, I renewed via the AOPA eFIRC. In this video, I recap some of the highlights I experienced as I went through the online renewal process and share some tips and tricks about your renewal with you.
    ✈️ About AOPA - The AOPA team, operating out of offices in Frederick, Maryland, and Washington, DC, exists to protect and grow the incredible privilege that we call general aviation. Whether it is through educating the public about the fun and the utility that aircraft can provide, preparing resources and training material to enhance pilots' skills everywhere, or advocating for aviation within government agencies-it is our job to maintain the strength and vitality of the flying community. www.AOPA.org
    ✈️ Here is a direct link to the AOPA Flight Instructor Refresher course that I used to renew this year: tinyurl.com/yc...

    Wow! Todd, thanks so much for taking the AOPA eFIRC and for your feedback. That's exactly the experience we're hoping the course will provide: challenge you and help improve your knowledge. This is great indication to verify we're on the right track with our course. Fly Safe!

    Oh my.... He knows that we switch to 1.5x speed! I literally "LITERALLY" laughed out loud!
    Honestly, I'm glad I got to spend some time with you as my instructor at ATP (remotely) and will keep checking in to learn more from you and your honest take on the regulations and other aviation issues.

    Renewed for 40 yrs.
    Since going electronic,
    I found American Flyers
    much easier and cheaper.
    2 test.One in the middle
    and one at the end.
    Price is much better.
    Pay once,your paid for life !
    AOPA is a good,helpful
    aviation foundation.
    But,money is tight these days.
    My AOPA membership money
    will just have to be enough.
    I have to look out for #1.
    By the way,I just completed
    my eFIRC today 04/29/22
    with American Flyers.

    Congrats Todd and Happy New Year! My CFI Hotrod was the late Bill Kershner. I had the fortune of meeting him and having him autograph his book, The Flight Instructors Manual, 2nd Edition, right after earning my initial CFI 40 years ago. As far as best CFI’s, the guy that prepped me for my CFI, Robert Redfern who was assistant chief pilot at Florida Institute of Technology when I was there in the 80’s was the best CFI I ever flew with and learned from not to mention one of the best stick and rudder guys I ever flew with.

    Thank you for what you do. I am looking forward to more CFII videos on the Patreon. To answer your question, John and Martha have been on my living room TV since 1998! Thank you for the information about the firc

    I finished the AOPA efirc about a week ago also. I failed one module as well and was sweating bullets when I re-took that test. I created a folder on my computer and tried to save as many links and additional material as possible to have that information for review.
    I really like the course but wish they would put out a pdf of at least the required models for review during the next two years. The goal is not only the renewal but giving instructors useful information that they can refer back to from time to time to help them be more effective instructors.
    I started it three months before my expiration with a goal of trying to accomplish one module a day if possible to not have to rush before expiration.
