There are a number of voices speaking loudly and clearly about
matters we all need to address in terms of flight safety and
aero-education. Two of the most prominent of those voices are
Professional Aviation Educators Sandy and JoAnn Hill. The center of
a massive controversy this year, Sandy and JoAnn are getting their
lives back to normal in the wake of the separation from NAFI and
the start of the independent Master Instructors LLC program.
Master Instructors LLC has updated, restructured, and is once
again available to all qualified applicants. Adhering to a rigorous
continuing education and peer-review process, the program promotes
professionalism among aviation educators and provides well-deserved
recognition for their contributions to aviation education,
training, and safety.
The Master Instructor program was conceived and developed by
MCFIs Sandy and JoAnn Hill, longtime CFIs and nationally known
aviation educators. It has periodically been revised and expanded
by them over the years. The Hills have been serving Master
Instructors and other aviation educators since 1995, and have been
responsible for reviewing more than 1,300 Master Instructor
applications.
The new company has a nine-member Board of Review who
collectively has held Master accreditation for more than 85
years.
Master Instructors LLC recently received a two-year letter of
authorization from the FAA qualifying the program for flight
instructor certificate renewal while the program is also FAA
WINGS-approved. Master Instructors LLC currently has a letter of
understanding with SAFE, the Society of Aviation and Flight
Educators (www.SafePilots.org).
ANN is pleased to present a two-part interview with this amazing
duo....
