Master Instructors LLC and its Board of Review take pride in announcing a significant aviation accomplishment on the part of Anthony B Condon, an independent Wichita-area flight instructor and a resident of Wichita, Kansas. Recently, Tony was accredited as a Master CFI (Certificated Flight Instructor) by Master Instructors LLC, the national Master Instructor accrediting authority.

To help put these achievements in their proper perspective, there are approximately 92,000 CFIs in the United States. Fewer than 700 of them have achieved that distinction thus far. The last 14 national Flight Instructors of the Year were Master CFIs while Tony is one of only 18 Kansas aviation educators who have earned 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 that is earned by candidates through a rigorous process of continuing professional activity and peer review. Much like a flight instructor's certificate, it must be renewed biennially. This process parallels the continuing education regimen used by other professionals to enhance their knowledge base while increasing their professionalism. Simply put, the Master Instructor designation is a means by which to identify those outstanding aviation educators, those "Teachers of Flight," who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation community.

Earning this designation is tantamount to having the words summa cum laude emblazoned on an instructor's certificate. These Masters truly represent the crème de la crème of the aviation education industry! In the near future, the website of SAFE, the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (www.SafePilots.org) will publicly recognize these individuals and their noteworthy accomplishments.
