The FAA is removing the expiration date of flight instructor certificates, it announced Tuesday.
The agency’s new rule aligning flight instructor certificates with other airman certificates goes into effect December 1.
However, according to the FAA, instructors will still need to renew their certificate every 24 calendar months by completing a Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic (FIRC), acquiring an additional instructor certificate, or by additional instructional activity. That activity, according to the rule, includes, "at least 15 flight activities recognized under the FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency program, during which the flight instructor evaluated at least five different pilots and has made the necessary endorsements in the logbooks of each pilot for each activity."
