National Flight Instructors of the Year held it
The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation, recognized by the FAA and the industry, earned through a rigorous process of continuing professional activity and peer review. The FAA has even approved it as an alternate means for CFIs to renew their flight instructor certificates.
Simply put, it identifies those outstanding aviation educators — those “Teachers of Flight” — who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation community. It must be renewed every two years.
Through their dedication to excellence, Master Instructors have earned their “black belts” in aviation education. They truly represent the crème de la crème of the profession.
