The Soaring Safety Foundation will present a Flight Instructor's
Revalidation Clinic in the Washington D.C. area on the weekend of
January 18 and 19, 2014. The clinic will be held at a very nice venue in
Gainesville, Virginia. This site should be convenient for those who
live in the Washington, D.C. area. It is about half an hour from
Dulles airport for those who need to travel by air. Lodging is available
nearby.

The clinic will be presented by Rich Carlson of the SSF and
other speakers. The clinic will cost $150 which goes to the SSF to
support future clinics and other SSF activities. The SSF will begin to
use scenario based training this year so this clinic will more interactive
than past clinics.

The clinic will run from about 8 AM to 5:30 PM on Saturday, Jan 18 and
8 AM - 5 PM on Sunday, Jan 19. At the end of the clinic, your instructor's
certificate will be re-validated on site without your having to go to
a FSDO as in years past. The clinic is valid for renewal of multiple
types of instructor certificates -- glider, airplane or helicopter.

The clinic is not only for instructors - all pilots are welcome, .
The information presented will be very useful to those working toward a
