The instructor rating renewal is not an automatic process following the completion of the course. For each course completion certificate, the course provider will also provide two certified copies to the participant.
- The participant has to send one certified copy with the application for renewal and the fee ($30) to the applicable TCCA regional office.
- Complete an application form.
- Only the part A of the form needs to be filled and signed.
For instructors whose instructor rating will expire soon after the completion of the course, the second certified copy could be kept and be used as proof of temporary privileges for 90 days following the date of the signature.
Application for renewal for a flight instructor rating based on successful completion of a flight instructor refresher course will be accepted where:
- A course completion certificate was issued within the preceding 90 days;
- The flight instructor rating was valid on the first day of the course; and
- The course is for the same category as the instructor rating held.
Note: A valid medical is required in order to be eligible for renewal.
