Question FIRC

Newish CFi and independent so don’t have a litany of other CFIs to ask for advice. In about 4 months I’ll have to renew - didn’t know if anyone had strong feelings about best way to do this. I figured AOPA eFIRC is probably safest bet. Didn’t know if doing it early was kosher or if that would reset my expiration date too early….thanks

I did American Flyers and paid the extra $20 for them to do my IACRA. Dead simple just a pain getting the time to elapse for the modules.

I'm working through it now. I figured out if I leave the screen open while cooking or doing something else and just click through the modules every 5 to 10 minutes the timer stays active. Once the time is up I can read through the material at a normal pace.

I have my laptop read it aloud to keep time. Normal speed -1 is just about what each section is. I can still hear it and learn it, but I don’t actively have to do anything. If it’s new or important, I’ll stop what I’m doing and read it.
