In response to a high number of aircraft accidents and incidents involving flight training aircraft, the Orlando FSDO along with the FAA Safety Program Managers initiated the first Flight Instructor Special Emphasis Program on September 1, 1998.

This program has evolved into one of the most important activities conducted by the FAA Safety Team or FAASTeam in the North Florida FSDO area of responsibility. This has become a model for similar CFI programs across the country.




Designed to provide more direct and focused FAA involvement with the Flight Training Community.

• Accomplished in a positive, educationally oriented manner.
