NAFI is about you — the professional flight instructor
What you do as a flight instructor has both an immediate and lasting effect on aviation safety and continued growth of our industry. Instruction is so much more than teaching skills. You are responsible for setting a good example, teaching responsibility, managing risk and safety, and supporting your own continuous improvement.
A good instructor also understands that learning to fly offers deep emotional satisfaction. Who can forget the excitement of first taking the flight controls?
