Hopes To Help Instructors Stay Current With Industry
Trends
The National Association of Flight
Instructors (NAFI) is unveiling the new NAFI Group Membership,
aimed at providing benefits to flight training providers.
NAFI developed this program to meet the needs of businesses and
academic institutions that provide flight training to help their
flight instructors stay in contact with current trends in the
flight instruction industry.
"NAFI is dedicated to supporting those who provide flight
instruction - not just from instructors themselves, but the
businesses and academic institutions that provide the
infrastructure that makes flight training possible," said Jason
Blair, NAFI executive director.
NAFI Group Members will receive memberships for their flight
instructors; NAFI's specialized publications; special invitations
to NAFI events; NAFI webpage listings as a NAFI Member flight
training provider; marketing packages and support from NAFI's
partner in this program, PilotJourney.com; and discounted supply
prices for their flight school through McConnell Aviation, a
national aviation training materials provider.
NAFI Group Members will also have
access to the services that NAFI has long provided to its
individual members, including advocacy for flight instruction
efforts, representation with the FAA, and direct input into
discussion at the national level regarding the current and future
status of flight training in the United States. As a group,
the members of NAFI have a much larger voice within the industry
than any one member could have individually.
NAFI member instructors are also eligible for certification as
NAFI Associate and NAFI Master Flight Instructors. NAFI
members and NAFI Master Instructors have been and continue to be
the most active instructors and leaders within the flight
instruction community on a national level. NAFI members on a
flight training provider's staff show customers the ongoing
commitment that the school and its instructors have to providing
professional and competent instruction.
