Eight CFIs achieved or renewed their Master Instructor accreditations in October.

The Master Instructor designation is a national accreditation recognized by the FAA and industry that is earned by a candidate through a process of continuing professional activity and peer review. Like a flight instructor’s certificate, it must be renewed biennially. This process parallels continuing education regimens used by other professionals, according to officials with Master Instructors LLC.

Aviation educators who earned the “Master” title during October are: Raymond Brown, Avon Lake, Ohio; Carla Dedera, Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Ed Fink, Fort Myers, Fla.; Lara Gaerte, Fort Wayne, Ind.; Peter King, Bend, Ore.; Matthew McDaniel, Oak Creek, Wis.; Bill Otway, San Antonio, Texas; and Drew SMITH, Lindsborg, Kan.
