Comments by Pilot Attending AOPA FIRC GKT - Jan. 2004
BY:  Don Miller, Private with Instrument Rating, Owner of C-172 "NOT a CFI"
"I recommend that any pilot who wants to remain current and improve his/her
piloting savvy sign up for the CFI Refresher. I attended that January 2004
two day refresher in Sevierville and was very pleased with the program. Any
pilot with little or a lot of experience will benefit as much as the CFI's.
Non instructors receive a nice certificate and pocket card attesting to
their completion of all requirements for biennial recertification except the
checkride. The instructor team brings the latest rule changes, a fresh look
at the airmanship basics and some new material useful in the ever changing
airspace environment. 95% of the topics covered are interesting and useful
to the average pilot. The other 5% is interesting to know if you take the
			PIC task seriously."
