The Independent Flight Examiners' and Instructors' Association IFEIA (formerly IFEA) has been in existence for ten years. IFEIA has a mixture of over 500 Full and Associate members including flight and ground examiners from PPL to ATPL and beyond.
The Association was originally formed to improve and promote the highest standards of flight examining in the UK and to assist the CAA in this goal as well as protect the interests of Flight and Ground examiners holding teaching and examining qualifications. As such, IFEIA has successfully achieved annual fee increases for flight examining and represented examiners in discussions with the Authority on various topics. IFEIA is now recognised as the UK’s foremost representative of flight instructors in Great Britain today.
Since those early days and following on from the success with examiners it was felt that Instructors too were under-represented in the UK and no one organisation has ever had this group’s interests at heart. IFEA became IFEIA and represented the interests of examiners and instructors alike.
Both Flight and Ground Instructors as well as Examiners have now been given their own private forum on the IFEIA website. The forums for both examiners and instructors operate as a crew room in which valuable information is available for discussion. At the same time IFEIA can offer advice and help to instructor and examiner members alike.
If you wish to join IFEIA simply go to the Memberships section and join. Various levels of membership are available. The strength of the association is within the scope, experience and knowledge of its members.
ASK-IFEIA
Following on from the success and popularity of IFEIA, a separate WhatsApp group Ask-IFEIA has been formed. Ask-IFEIA is affiliated with but separate from IFEIA which provides easy access to hundreds of instructors and examiners working in the UK.
ASK-IFEIA is independently run and is not part of the main association but actively encourages the WhatsApp members to consider joining the main group as full members.
Membership of ASK-IFEIA requires an annual payment of just £12.00. (£1 per month)
Full membership of IFEIA costs just £24 per annum. (£2.00 per month)
Full Membership entitles the member to full access to the forums, entry into the association’s competitions, various industry discounts and a number of other benefits.
Full members of IFEIA are automatically given access to ASK-IFEIA without further charge.
