CFIG? - Renew Your Glider Flight Instructor Certificate.....
The Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) provides US flight instructors the ability to renew their FAA flight instructor certificate in a class tailored to the need of Flight Instructors, pilots, and students. SSF FIRC's are open to any Flight Instructor wishing to renew their FI certificate. Tow-pilots who are airplane flight instructors can now renew by attending the SSF FIRC. SSF FIRCs are also open to any glider pilot who is interested in learning more about the art of Soaring. You do not need to be a flight instructor to attend an SSF FIRC. The SSF now has an FAA approved ACR (Airman Certification Representative) on staff. At the successful completion of the course, the SSF ACR will use IACRA to issue a new temporary CFI certificate and file the paperwork with the FAA. This means that course attendees no longer need to schedule a visit with their local FSDO to complete the renewal process. Register for a course on-line and pay the $150 fee by credit card, sending a check to the SSA office in Hobbs, or pay at the door. Follow the link below to the registration form. Selecting Pay by Credit Card and you will be taken to the SSA Store to complete the payment process. Register at SSF Website (Click here!) The FEE for the course is $150 (You can pay at the door, but please register online!) More info below..... |
