Master Instructors LLC takes pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the part of Lamar A Childs, the president of Lamar A Childs Flight Training and a resident Pensacola, Florida.  Recently, Lamar'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 Programä."  He first earned this national professional accreditation in 2008 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 15 national Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs while Lamar 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."     

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.
