Customers Speak

I want to thank you for the excellent flight instruction I have.received over the years from you. I thought our last recurrent work was the best yet. I was astounded when, at the beginning, you asked me what I thought I needed. Then we addressed those areas. 
Thank you,
Barry Morris,
Aerostar Owner

The Aero-Tech Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic (FIRC) contains 16 hours of valuable classroom training conducted over two days, taught by two examiners with a combined 75 years of instructing experience.  This FIRC is unique for three reasons:

1. Tailored to the sport category.  Sport pilot is not a 1-hour module; it is the emphasis during all modules.  Aircraft operations and aerodynamics feature the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), airspace is limited to information below 10,000' MSL.  FARs and instructor responsibilities highlight Subpart J and K of Part 61, etc.  
2. Scenario-based format.  Renew your flight instructor certifcate in a scenario-based training format. Experience scenario-based training, first-hand. 
3. Emphasis is on how to teach.  Seasoned pros give you tools you can use with your students, on your very next flight lesson.

CLINIC CONTENT  You can benefit from the most experienced instructors in the sport training business, while gaining insights from your fellow CFIs. This is an outstanding opportunity to refresh your knowledge, network and share best-practices with other sport instructors in a small symposium format.
