Fewer Than 300 Instructors Hold The Designation
The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) takes
pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the
part of these very special aviation educators. The
instructors listed below were issued the most recent new or renewal
accreditation as NAFI Master Flight Instructors.
The NAFI Master Instructor Accreditation shows dedication to
excellence as a professional flight instructor. With fewer
than 300 flight instructors currently accredited as NAFI Master
Instructors, these instructors are part of a small group of
aviation teachers who have achieved this accreditation.
The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation,
recognized by the FAA, which is earned through a rigorous process
of continuing professional activity and peer review. Similar
to a flight instructor's certificate, it must be renewed
biennially. It is also rigorous enough to qualify as a
recognized renewal course for a flight instructor certificate.
Unlike other accreditations that are based on FIRC requirements,
the NAFI Master Instructor accreditation is an accreditation based
on professional activity and accomplishment throughout the two
years prior to the instructor's application for
accreditation. The NAFI Master Instructor accreditation is a
means by which to identify those outstanding aviation educators,
are recognized for demonstrating an ongoing commitment to
excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation
community. Please join ANN in congratulating these professionals in
aviation instruction.
