Flight Instructors are one of the most important professionals in aviation. Whether you are part time, full time, independent, or associated with a flight school, as an instructor, you foster the students motivation, ensure quality of learning, and instill safety at all levels. At the National Association of Flight Instructors, we understand that effort, and have developed programs to recognize and support you. NAFI is the only organization dedicated exclusively to flight instructors and the critical part they play in aviation.
NAFI realizes the professionalism and pride that goes into being a “Teacher of Flight”. In addition, we truly understand the importance of having quality benefits that are tailored to meet specific CFI needs . The NAFI code of ethics professes only the highest level of quality education. On the benefits side, our current membership benefits package is in direct response to what flight instructors said they needed most. Here are just a few of the many benefits all NAFI members receive:
- Opportunity for applying to the "Master CFI" industry accreditation. This brand new program is available to all NAFI members and offers visibility and credibility as a quality instructor. Enhancing the status of flight instructors, the Master CFI encourages participation and leadership in all aspects of aviation education and communication development. A "must have" designation for all flight instructors who take "professionalism" seriously. Call or write with your new membership application and ask for a Master CFI info packet!
- Flight instructor liability insurance. NAFI offers the industry's best source of instructor liability protection.
- Our membership exclusive NAFI Publication, NAFI Mentor. A monthly membership publication filled with technical information and association happenings, this publication is of the quality you will want to three hole punch and keep for future reference.
- Access to the Flight Instructor Home Page. NAFI brings you the finest flight instructor site on the Internet! With free listing on our searchable database of NAFI members, we can bring students right to your telephone!
- Membership items for you to display. These include a lapel pin, luggage tag, decals, and several certificates showing your level of professionalism.
- And other product discounts and benefits too numerous to list!
In addition to benefits, you deserve a higher level of recognition. NAFI, as a professional instruction organization, has created several new recognition programs. The Flight Instructor Hall of Fame, located at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is a perfect example. Our membership gold and silver identification card program, which recognizes instructors with longevity in the field of instructing, is another such example. This kind of flight instructor recognition helps bring a higher level of appreciation and awareness to all flight instructors.
NAFI is your representative where it counts! By actively participating in government-hosted Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committees (ARACs), extensively commenting on Notice to Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), and holding seats on industry-hosted flight training committees, we are the only organization that effectively represents flight instructor interests in Washington and elsewhere. We carry the torch that supports your best interests. No other organization can say that they solely represent flight instructors!
Your $39 membership fee buys a lot, and with our member benefits, the 20% discount on ASA products, and the 20-50% discount (plus free shipping) on Gleim Products, the savings on just one or two purchases will pay for your membership! However, you should know it doesn't stop there. The NAFI full-time staff will continue to provide our members with the kind of support and recognition they deserve and want.
