Accelerate your CFI Mastery with
SAFE's CFI-PROficiency Workshop
Professional development is essential in aviation. And there is something for every aviation educator at our CFI-PRO™ Workshop; offered on request at *your* location. (2/3rds of active FAA CFIs have taught for less than 1 year!)
Whether you are new to aviation education (even working on a CFI) or a seasoned veteran, this learning opportunity will reinvigorate your teaching and accelerate your mastery and proficiency with new ideas and techniques.
“live safety-oriented aviation seminar with fresh, level-appropriate knowledge for CFIs… Excellent!”
“Excellent opportunity to discuss subjects in flight training with flight instructors from across the country”
The majority of pilots only fly (and train) in <10% of the flight envelope. These limited pilots are vulnerable to LOC-I when displaced by an emergency or upset. DPEs also see fewer student pilots familiar with turning stalls (a standard maneuver available in the private ACS) on checkrides. We know this comes from their CFIs.
We need instructors learning and spreading "Extended Envelope Maneuvers" to expand their proficiency and confidence thereby reducing LOC-I accidents.
Previous workshops presenters have included as many as five FAA National Award Winners).
“this is a great event that really helps increase your tools for teaching“
SAFE's CFI-PRO™ Inspiration
The original inspiration for this program is the 20 year old Orlando FSDO CFI Special Emphasis Program which in only two years was able to reduce instructional accidents in their very busy flight district by an astounding 60%. Elevating aviator excellence has a proven effect on safety and pilot quality. We want to scale this to our entire pilot population by improving aviation educators (SAFE mission).
SAFE's CFI-PRO™ Clinic - Closing the Gap Between "Good to Great!"
Our 80% drop-out rate in aviation education has become an accepted embarrassment accept as "normal" rather than fix. A comprehensive AOPA study identified the CFI as the key reason flight students either stay and succeed or abandon their dreams. As in LOC-I, the aviation educator is the “inflection point” or "influencer" we need to address and improve. This program will include resources to improve your educator effectiveness (SAFE Resources) and thus reach every pilot flying.

The reason pilots cannot successfully fly chandelles is the same reason for the high fatality rate in "high power/high nose" flight attitudes (take off): lack of coordination!

Echo/ Gulf airspace confuses a lot of pilots (and ruins a lot of FAA flight tests)! Airspace is the #1 pilot violation too😳. Golf is surface just about everywhere unless otherwise specified (1 sm/CC). Echo is 1200’ AGL just about everywhere with few exceptions (zipper tracks). Echo “protects” IFR traffic with greater visibility and cloud clearance requirements. Echo descends to the airport, 2200-700’ in magenta transition and surface inside dashed magenta.
“Aerodynamic ignorance” leads to dangerous flying habits! Knowledge is power and yields safer, confident control👍
Remarkably, many pilots fly totally ignorant of the forces they harness to maneuver in flight. http://bit.LY/SAFE-LtT This works until they are upset or in a tricky situation. "Loss of Control-inflight" is #1 pilot killer; get this FREE course! #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #SAFEpilots

Even though the majority of aviation accidents happen on take-off and landing (with wind!), there is no * requirement* to test crosswind operations!😳 Safety-conscious pilots (and CFIs) should insist on this training #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
The FAA only provides “minimum standards!” No crosswinds or “actual Instrument experience” required. Consequently “wind and weather” are the top accident causal factors😳 Any savvy pilot should get more training here (and conscientious CFIs should insist on this training👍 http://bit.ly/SAFE-WW
Train wind and weather for greater safety! These are the primary causal factors in most accidents by *AVOIDED* in “Blue Sky Flight Training!” See today’s SAFEblog: http://bit.ly/SAFE-WW #flySAFE
Wind and weather are the primary causes of aviation accidents, yet these areas are *AVOIDED* in flight training: "Blue Sky Flight Training" https://bit.ly/SAFE-WW Conscientious CFIs need to focus on crosswinds and VFR into IMC conditions. #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
