RobertGary1 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I finished up my CFI renewal and noticed on their website my TSA training was expiring. Almost forgot. Curious how other people remember to do this annual training. I wonder if anyone has been busted for being out of currency. -Robert
takair Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I'm glad they emphasized it on mine too. I used to be based at airports that required it, so had automatic reminders....no longer. Not sure how they would catch you unless you had a student go rogue, but it is one more thing to try to remember with my brain at capacity. I keep saying I will get a whiteboard for my home office for all of these things....
RobertGary1 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Posted June 28, 2018 Is nice that American Flyers includes it for free annually in my life time CFI renewal. -Robert

Oh, right, the TSA thing..." 2
FlyboyKC Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I know this is an annual requirement for CFIs but lets face it, its the same stuff for the last 10 years. They should make this a every 2 year event an just include it within our CFI renewal. That would ease the burden a bit... 1
carusoam Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Is the TSA thing mature already? No changes year to year? Sounds like something AOPA could get cost reduction or simplification for, for their members... Legal hurdles and AOPA go well together... Best regards, -a-

Best regards, -a- The AOPA course is free - I suspect they are all free. It's definitely mature - most of this stuff was published 2003ish, though they do tweak the content from time to time. I really have no idea why the annual requirement or the standalone course. Seems like it would be better if they just synced with the biannual instructor certificate renewal. My sense is that they're primarily concerned with US flight schools understanding requirements for training foreign pilots.
carusoam Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 aopa has the ability to do two things.... 1) help with training... 2) help with regulation, and changes to these regulations... Could take a year or three.... If it makes sense, we can bring it to their attention. We know a couple of people (MSers) at AOPA. Best regards, -a-
