Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC).
Flight Instructor Refresher Course - Renew your FI rating

The Flight Instructor Refresher Course.
At Wings over Holland, we have trained many pilots, many of whom have gone on to careers as flight instructors. For instructors who wish to renew their license, we offer the Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC). This FI Seminar covers essential topics such as aerodynamics with a focus on unusual attitudes, regulations, teaching & learning, classroom briefings and aircraft technology. This two-day course not only provides a refresher of knowledge, but also ensures that instructors stay abreast of the latest developments in aviation.
In addition to theory training, this FIRC also offers an optional practical portion, where instructors have the opportunity to fly for 45 minutes and improve their skills in unusual attitudes and aerobatics, including spins/tolts. This practical portion helps instructors further hone their expertise and be better prepared to guide students in challenging flight situations.
Each FI rating is valid for three years and can be renewed again after successful attendance at the Flight Instructor Refresher Course. Keep an eye on this page for the next FIRC, or contact us for more information on course dates and registrations. This training will ensure that you remain up-to-date as an instructor and meet the legal requirements to maintain your FI rating.

The FI Seminar and its atmosphere
Wings over Holland organizes several FI Seminars every year, with many flight instructors having already successfully participated in our Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC). This course offers not only a mandatory refresher of knowledge, but also an opportunity to share experiences in a social and interactive environment. During the course:
- Instructors exchange valuable knowledge and practical experiences among themselves.
- Emerge useful dialogues on the latest developments in the field.
- Will work on improving instructor skills in an inspiring atmosphere.
The FIRC is not only strong in content, but also a connecting experience within the instructor community. Due to high interest, this course often fills up quickly. Want to participate? Keep an eye out for registrations!
