The MCFI-A achievement represents a strong commitment to excellence and also to aviation safety. There are approximately 101,000 CFIs in the United States. Fewer than 800 aviation educators worldwide have achieved one or more of the Master accreditations thus far. Additionally, Philip is one of only 35 Arizona aviation educators to earn one or more of these prestigious ‘Master’ titles and one of only 40 worldwide to earn the distinctive aerobatic accreditation.
“The achievement of MCFI-A status is an important accomplishment for APS instructor pilots, along their extensive background experience and unmatched in-house UPRT specific training.“ says Paul BJ Ransbury, president of Aviation Performance Solutions. “As the FAA states in multiple advisory circulars and ICAO proclaims in their Manual on Aeroplane UPRT, a well qualified instructor is the most essential component in the delivery of safe and effective UPRT.”
ABOUT THE MASTER INSTRUCTOR DESIGNATION
The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation recognized by the FAA. Candidates must demonstrate an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation community, and must pass a rigorous evaluation by a peer Board of Review. The process parallels the continuing education regimen used by other professionals to enhance their knowledge base while increasing their professionalism. Designees are recognized as outstanding aviation educators for not only their excellence in teaching, but for their engagement in the continuous process of learning — both their own, and their students’. The designation must be renewed biennially and significantly surpasses the FAA requirements for renewal of the candidate’s flight instructor certificate.
