Cessna Aircraft Company is offering a new series of courses aimed at CFI safety it is calling a CFI Safety Stand Down. According to the manufacturer, the stand down is a “training seminar designed for flight instructors, flight instructor candidates, and commercial pilots who may have an interest in becoming flight instructors.”

The course will put an emphasis on covering new technology that Cessna thinks can enhance aviation safety. Run essentially as a flight instructor refresher clinic, the course will be 18 hours over two days, and has received FAA approval for CFI renewal.

The first class will be June 13 and 14 in San Diego. Each session costs $200, which includes all materials. Future dates and locations are planned for this fall.
