The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) reports that several Certified Flight Instructors have achieved new accreditation as NAFI Master Flight Instructors, while several others have renewed their Master status.

South Woodstock, CONNECTICUT / September 21, 2009 — Some say a Light-Sport Aircraft may fly great as a training aircraft but cannot possibly hold up to years of use by students learning the art of flying. Flight Design recently received proof showing the doubters are just plain wrong.

www.letsflysportcruiser.com  announced today a new Cooperative in Oshkosh whereby a share in the celebrated SportCruiser aircraft can be purchased for $2900 down and flown for $31 per hour wet. Flight training is also available. The SportCruiser is a two-place aircraft certified for sport and recreation.

Flight Schools interested in seeing the REMOS GX and learning more about the REMOS Pilot Center program are invited to request a visit from the REMOS demo pilot in your area.  The Remos GX is the top selling light sport aircraft in the US.

The FAA is proposing several changes to the pilot, flight instructor, and pilot school certification rules.

One proposal would allow future pilots to apply for a private license and an instrument rating at the same time. Other proposals would require pilot in command (PIC) proficiency checks for pilots who act as PIC of single-pilot, turbojet-powered airplanes, as well as revise the definition of a ‘‘complex airplane.''

Has your flight school done a promotion that you would like to share with other schools?  If so please give us a call here at Pilot Journey or send an email to gary@pilotjourney.com so we can share this with other schools.

Master Instructors LLC and its Board of Review take pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the part of these very special aviation educators. Recently, they were all accredited as Masters by Master Instructors LLC, the international Master Instructor accrediting authority.

To help put this achievement in its proper perspective, there are approximately 93,000 CFIs in the United States. Fewer than 700 of them have earned Master accreditation thus far. As a measure of the prestige conferred by this title, the last 14 FAA National Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs. In addition, the FAA has approved the accreditation as an alternate means for CFIs to renew their flight instructor certificates.
