Program:
This is Workshop Module # 7 in a series of 8 modules. This Module will cover Effective Teaching and FAA Industry Training Standards - FITS. Flight Instructors, Ground Instructors, Designated Pilot Examiners, and Instructors in training are welcome and encouraged to attend. Join your flight instructor colleagues and take an active role in improving safety in flight training! Don’t miss this important event!
FAASTeam CFI workshops provide an opportunity for Flight Instructors, Designated Pilot Examiners, and Aviation Safety Inspectors to meet and collaborate for safety. These FAASTeam CFI Workshops are planned in cycles. A cycle takes 24 months to complete and consist of 8 quarterly workshop events. Workshops include a module of instruction and a time period for CFIs and DPEs to interact and learn from each other. CFIs that meet the minimum participation in all 8 workshops within a cycle are eligible to renew their Flight Instructor Certificate. A person who attends anyFAASTeam CFI Workshop, held at any location, will receive nationally recognized credit for that workshop. After the completion of a workshop cycle (Workshops #1 through #8), including all required Core Topics, theFAASTeam CFI workshop cycle will repeat, beginning with Workshop #1. Airmen may begin on any date at any Workshop. Those CFIs who attend Workshops #1 through #8 in any order will be considered to have completed a Workshop cycle. An individual who has attended and participated in a complete FAASTeam CFI Workshop cycle, covering all required Core Topics, may be eligible for renewal of a non-expired CFI certificate. Attendees will be supplied with documents that attest to his/her FAASTeam CFI Workshop attendance. That document must be presented at the time of Flight Instructor Certificate renewal.
Please note that to complete each CFI Workshop and receive WINGS credit, an attendee must take and pass the workshop quiz. Attendance for WINGS credit only is not an option for this particular seminar series. Of course, pilots may attend and learn the great information we present, but without successful completion of the test, it will be like auditing a college class —there will be an increased level of learning, but there will be no credit.
