The National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) is a United States professional organisation for flight instructors. Founded in 1967, NAFI is dedicated exclusively to "raising and maintaining the professional standing of the flight instructor in the aviation community". In 1995 it became an affiliate of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). NAFI is governed by a board of directors composed of eleven members. The organisation works with other groups such as AOPA[1][2], EAA[3], and the Federal Aviation Administration.[4] In 2008, Jason Blair became the organisation's Executive Director. NAFI is headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, home of the EAA's AirVenture annual airshow and convention.
In 1997, NAFI completed development of its prestigious Master CFI,[5] program. The first person designated by NAFI as a Master CFI was Greg Brown, a well known flight instructor, aviation author, and AOPA Pilot magazine editor. Since then, NAFI has expanded the program to include ground instructors as well as flight instructors. In June, 2009,[6] an updated version of the program was approved by the FAA. Master instructor accredition is valid for two years.[7]
