Six Earn Master Instructor Ratings In February

National Accreditation Recognized By The FAA

Six aviation educators earned Master Instructor accreditations in the Month of February. All were accredited as Masters by Master Instructors LLC, the international Master Instructor accrediting authority.

Fewer than 700 of the nearly 93,000 instructors in the U.S. have received the accreditation. The last 15 National Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs, and the FAA has approved the accreditation as an alternate means for CFIs to renew their flight instructor certificates.

The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation recognized by the FAA and industry that is earned by a candidate through a rigorous process of continuing professional activity and peer review. Much like a flight instructor's certificate, it must be renewed biennially. This
