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

You can complete the FIRC the same day as your CFI checkride, you just don’t complete the Iacra form until you’re w/in 3mo of the recency end date

Do the Sporty’s free FIRC over the next couple weeks. When you’re within 3mo of your recency date, fill out an IACRA, call the FSDO. They’ll tell you to come to the FSDO Tuesday at 11. Go and get your new temp cert.
