New CFI group takes off

By Janice Wood · March 12, 2009 ·

The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) held its inaugural meeting during the Women in Aviation International conference last month in Atlanta.

The new organization was formed to represent the nation’s professional aviation educators, according to spokesman Doug Stewart.

“Securing non profit (501c3) status for SAFE is the next big step in our efforts to create an organization that will represent the nation’s aviation educators and CFIs with professionalism, transparency, fairness and accountability,” continued Stewart. “We are moving forward on many fronts to put programs in place, to elect an initial board of directors and to begin offering memberships to aviation educators, flight instructors and industry partners.”
