More CFIG's (USA)
More SSA members / More CFIG's. It's kinda like the chicken and the egg.
If your club (or Commercial Soaring Operation) needs more CFIG's - consider sponsoring a couple of candidates to attend a Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) Flight Instructor Clinic (FIRC). Non-CFIG's are invited to register for these two-day seminars - even though they are primarily for current CFI's to renew their certificates (every 24 months). A new addition to the FIRC's is a half-day program developed specifically for the potential CFI applicants. So learn "Everything you wanted to know about being a CFIG" through the Soaring Safety Foundation FIRC seminars. FIRC's are held all around the USA, and at the SSA Conventions. If you want a FIRC in your town, contact us and we'll send the SSF team. Attendees must register in advance. Read about the SSF Flight Instructor Clinics in the December 2004 and February 2005 "Soaring" magazines, or see the new info now at www.soaringsafety.org By golly, if you attend the SSF Seminars, soaring WILL have more GOOD CFIG's! To paraphrase the FAA, "We are here to help." And if you don't ASK for our help, well, we are still here to help. Go to www.soaringsafety.org and get started. In addition, I know that some clubs are sponsoring their members to upgrade to Commercial and CFIG by providing financial assistance. One club reimburses a candidate up to $500. for each rating. (I know because they have visited me in Marfa, TX.) That's a darn good investment for the club's future! Burt Compton Soaring Safety Foundation www.soaringsafety.org |
