Two instructors have renewed their Master Instructor designation in the month of December.

Master Instructors LLC said in a news release that all were accredited as Masters by Master Instructors LLC, the international Master Instructor accrediting authority. Both obtained their designation through the Master Instructor "Fluid Review" program online.

Professional aviation educators who earned or renewed their "Master" title during December 2016 are:

Andrew "Drew" Marinelli, Master CFI, Youngstown, OH.
Andrew Marinelli, a 6-time Master and SAFE member. Drew is an independent flight and ground instructor with Precision Aviation Services at Youngstown's Elser Metro Airport (4G4) where he specializes in flight reviews, primary, and instrument training.  He also serves as a FAASTeam representative in the FAA's Cleveland FSDO area.
