Master Instructors LLC has confirmed to ANN that its
internationally acclaimed and FAA approved Master Instructor
Continuing Education Program, (the preeminent aviation educator
credentialing program in the United States), has been 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.
Once affiliated with the National Association of Flight
Instructors, Sandy Hill explained, "We wanted to expand access to
the Master Instructor program while also assuring its autonomy,
credibility, integrity, and high standards. As the international
Master Instructor accrediting body, providing an additional layer
of independence from other organizations became increasingly
important to us. Consequently, we felt it was time to bring all
aspects of our program in-house under Master Instructors LLC."
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). The company is
a sponsor and supporter of Advocates for Aviation Safety Foundation
(www.AFASF.org), and is pursuing
FAASTeam industry membership (www.FAASTeam.gov). Master Instructors
LLC is also pursuing accrediting agreements with the Bonanza Pilot
Proficiency Program and the Mooney Aircraft Pilots Association
Safety Foundation, among others, and will soon begin a dialogue
with the Civil Air Patrol.
