SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA has been reviewing safety of 

flight data in the general aviation (GA) 

community over the last ten years. Even 

with the advent of new technologies to 

assist the GA pilot, there has been little 

improvement in the accident/incident 

rate among that community of aviators. 

CFIs are responsible for ensuring that 

pilots are properly educated to operate 

safely within the National Airspace 

System (NAS). For CFIs to accomplish 

that mission effectively they must be 

provided the means and knowledge to 

do so, and there must be some objective 

method of measuring that information 

transfer and retention. The FAA has 

been reviewing indicators that suggest 

that the processes currently in place 

may lack sufficient effectiveness in 

ensuring that CFIs are being provided 

the best information in the most useful 

manner. This meeting will elicit input 

from the community of authorized flight 

instructor renewal program operators so 

that the FAA can better analyze how to 

improve the process. 

Purpose of the Public Meeting 

The purpose of this public meeting is 

for the FAA to hear the public’s views 

and obtain information relevant to 

improving the CFI biennial renewal 

process. The FAA will consider 

comments made at this public meeting 

before making decisions on any 

suggested changes to the current policy. 

More specifically, the FAA seeks 

information on the following questions. 

The FAA requests that that all meeting 

participants provide written comments 

to support any positions they may 

express support for, or disagreement 

with. 

• How effective have Flight Instructor 

Refresher Clinics been in transferring 

relevant information to flight 

instructors? 

• What can be done to improve the 

effectiveness of flight instructor 

refresher clinics? 

• How effective are the written tests 

provided at the conclusion of flight 

instructor refresher clinics? 

• How can the effectiveness of flight 

instructor knowledge be better assessed? 

• How effective have the online 

courses been? 

• How do we effectively measure the 

success of knowledge transfer in online 

flight instructor renewal courses? 

• Should there be changes to 14 CFR 

part 61.197? 

• Are those non-FIRC methods of CFI 

biennial certificate renewal found in 14 

CFR part 61.197 adequate and effective 

in ensuring that CFIs possess the most 

up to date information in terms of both 

proficiency and knowledge? 

• What can the community 

conducting flight instructor recurrent 

training, the FIRC providers, do to 

contribute to enhancing safety of flight 

among the GA community at large? 

Participation at the Public Meetings 

Commenters who wish to present oral 

statements at the December 6 and 7, 

2010, public meetings will be permitted 

to do so on an ad-hoc basis during the 

meeting. 

The FAA will have available a 

projector and a computer capable of 

accommodating Word and PowerPoint 

presentations from a compact disk (CD) 

or USB memory device. Persons 

requiring any other kind of audiovisual 

equipment should notify the FAA prior 

to the meeting. 

Sign and oral interpretation can be 

made available at the meeting, as well

requested 10 calendar days before the 

meeting. 

Public Meeting Procedures 

A panel of representatives from the 

FAA will be present. An FAA 

representative will facilitate the 

meetings in accordance with the 

following procedures: 

(1) The meetings are designed to 

facilitate the public input on policies 

that directly affect them. The meetings 

will be informal and non-adversarial. 

No individual will be subject to crossexamination by any other participant. 

Government representatives on the 

panel may ask questions to clarify 

statements and to ensure an accurate 

record. Any statement made during the 

meetings by a panel member should not 

be construed as an official position of 

the government. 

(2) There will be no admission fees or 

other charges to attend or to participate 

in the public meetings. The meetings 

will be open to all persons, subject to 

availability of space in the meeting 

room. The FAA will make every effort 

to accommodate all persons wishing to 

attend. The FAA asks that participants 

sign in at 9 a.m. on each day of the 

meeting being attended. The FAA will 

try to accommodate all speakers; 

however if available time does not allow 

this, speakers will be scheduled on a 

first-come-first-served basis. The FAA 

reserves the right to exclude some 

speakers, if necessary, to obtain 

balanced viewpoints. The meetings may 

adjourn early if scheduled speakers 

complete their statements in less time 

than is scheduled for the meetings. 

(3) The FAA will prepare agendas of 

speakers and presenters and make the 

agendas available at the meetings. 

(4) The meeting is intended to 

produce an environment conducive to 

an exchange of ideas. If speakers wish 

to give dedicated presentations, they 

may be limited to 5–10-minute 

statements. If possible, the FAA will 

notify speakers if additional time is 

available. 

(5) The FAA will review and consider 

all material presented by participants at 

the public meetings. Position papers or 

materials presenting views or 

information related to the topics 

discussed may be accepted at the 

discretion of the presiding officer and 

will be subsequently placed in the 

public docket. If the attendees wish to 

provide written materials, the FAA 

requests that the presenters provide at 

least 10 copies of all materials for 

distribution to the panel members. 

Presenters may provide other copies to 

the audience at their discretion. 

(6) Each person presenting comments 

is asked to submit data to support the 

comments. The FAA will protect from 

disclosure all proprietary data 

submitted in accordance with 

applicable laws.
