The Greater St. Louis Flight Instructors Association promotes aviation safety and improvement of flight instruction by increasing education, instructor knowledge, professionalism, and techniques.
This is accomplished through the exchange of ideas and techniques between instructors, developing effective communications and/or liaison with the FAA and/or other desirable aviation interested entities. We deliver ideas and techniques by sponsoring the Ed Blue Flight Instructor Scholarship, FAA Safety Clinics, FAA Wings Programs, an FAA approved Flight Instructors Revalidation Clinic and other Seminars.
FIRC
Each year GSLFIA presents a “St. Louis Style” FIRC for those instructors needing to renew their Flight Instructor Certificate. This is a unique, “one-of-a-kind” clinic that has been recently updated with a new syllabus mandated by the FAA to incorporate the latest information and a more interactive curriculum. GSLFIA secures several local and national presenters for the FIRC, several modules of which are presented in conjunction with the Midwest Aviation Conference and Trade Show.
