INSTRUCTOR AT CABAIR'S OFT RECOGNISED AS MASTER CFI

This year has been a good year for Cabair Instructors winning awards: First Rod Brown of Denham School of Flying becoming AOPA's Instructor of the year, then Ray Watson of Biggin Hill School of Flying was awarded a Master Air Pilot Certificate by The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators. Now it's the turn of our overseas affiliates:

Sven Samson at Orlando Flight Training has been recognised by the FAA training industry and has achieved a distinction only 700 instructors in the whole of the USA have achieved.

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.

Master Instructors LLC takes pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the part of Sven Samson, Orlando Flight Training's chief flight instructor and a resident of Sanford, Florida.  Recently, Sven's accreditation as a Master CFI (Certificated Flight Instructor) was renewed by the Master Instructors LLC Board of Review, the international accrediting authority for the Master Instructor designation as well as the FAA-approved "Master Instructor Continuing Education Programä."  He first earned this national professional accreditation in 2005 and has held it continuously since then. 

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 achieved that distinction thus far.  The last 14 national Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs while Sven is one of only 65 Florida teachers of flight to earn this prestigious "Master" title.  In the words of former FAA Administrator Marion Blakey, "The Master Instructor accreditation singles out the best that the right seat has to offer."

RADIO ONE VISITS CCAT

Scott Mills has the daytime Radio One slot of 4-7pm. He regularly challenges one of his colleagues - Becky - to carry out a difficult task. This time it was to fly a jet plane.

So Cabair College of Air Training - the home of Cabair Integrated - played host to the wannabe jet pilot Becky and let her loose on the Citation Jet Simulator which trainee airline pilots use during their commercial pilot training. The results were impressive...almost!

SIGN A DOWNING STREET PETITION NOW :
NO VAT ON TRAINING

The government provides loans, grants and incentives to encourage university students to attain qualifications which often have little employment value and backs apprentice schemes for the majority of skilled professions yet it is ignorant to aspiring pilots. Many countries such as France, Sweden and America provide low interest, unsecured course fee loans to their national student pilots and some even provide government finance.
